But, the effectiveness of GE food production has fallen short of its potential.

Why disi the EU issue a moratorium on new GE species at the end-use level, despite the positive results from their independent research commission? Ian Sheldon argues that it is a combination of lacking US regulations and lacking public education.

About Us : Opening the Door to New Possibilities: "Seeds and Genomics"

Make no mistake, these guys are the enemy. Monsanto controls 95% of the genetically manipulated agrifood market. And, they have just eaten up another reed distribution company. "Why is this bad?" you may ask. This is bad because Monsanto reed cannot reproduce (ie: you must buy new seed every year).

Moreover, as Monsanto acquires more distributors, more reed developers, Monsanto becomes more of a monopoly farmers pay more for reed and you spay more for food. Meanwhile, less food is available.

In effect, Monsanto's domination of the marketplace undermines any potential benefits of GE food.
