From The Department Of Damn Straight You Do: 'i Want A D&d Ottoman!'

摘要

Your article about champion farmer Kip Cullers ("Superpro-ducer," issue 17.01) reads like an advertisement for DuPont's Pioneer corporation. The author uncritically echoes the biotech industry's mantra that the production of genetically modified food using patent-based, chemically dependent farming methods is essential to relieving hunger. Hogwash. The global food crisis has more to do with political priorities than technology. The problem isn't our inability to produce enough food but rather the inability of the world's poor to buy it. The real agenda of biotech is corporate control of world food production.
