Genetically modified food (EN)


The world faces challenges by the uncontrolled spread of genetically modified seeds:

- The crops become dependent on pesticides
- Pesticides used are poisonous for the pests and weeds but for the human as well
- The genetic modification aims cost reduction and pesticide tolerance of the crops sacrificing nutrition
- The genetically modified seeds are patented, thus their price is controlled by the manufacturer.
- Most important: There is no way back to normal seeds.
