Seeds of Destruction

I have heard that Genetically modified food or seeds were previously rejected by EU and also even rejected by African nations. US companies tried their best to enter in those countries but couldn’t do so.

Why do we need that even we have one of the best agricultur lands in the the world. May be some body in this forum can explain this.

Oh so this is the spin they are using to sell it? This is the worst possible decision by Pk gov.

Teeth Maestro had it covered 6 weeks ago exposing Monsanto for what it is:
Monsanto - Genetically modified BT Cotton ‘terminator’ seeds being introduced in Pakistan
“…BT cotton’s global record, failures and dangers were not adequately publicised in the media. … Monsanto is a chemical company posing as an agricultural company specializes in toxic, dependency-creating, genetically-engineered crops and pharmaceuticals. Monsanto is one of the world’s most notorious multinationals that has been caught red-handed for bribery, false studies and evaluations, and paying off scientists for favourable reports. It has been responsible for over 10,000 farmer suicides and thousands of poisoned sheep in India alone. Its GE products are banned in countries including in Europe after painful experiences. … In June 2007, Monsanto acquired Delta & Pine Land Company, a company that had been involved with a seed technology nicknamed “Terminator”, which produces plants that produce sterile seed to prevent farmers from replanting their crop’s seed, and are instead forced to continue purchasing seeds from Monsanto for every planting. In recent years, widespread opposition from environmental organizations and farmer associations has grown, mainly out of the concerns that these seeds increase farmers’ dependency on seed suppliers (having to buy these each year for seeding new crops).”

Bt cotton is “welcomed” in Pakistan

Don’t forget to watch the documentary The World According to Monsanto

@admin
The title is wrong. “fear to monopolies Pakistani agriculture” is opposite of what the article means: “pave the way for the monopolization of the seed business in Pakistan” and therefore eventually monopolize all crops…

Monsanto will kill the agriculture and the soil in Pakistan. Biogenetically engineered cotton will infect the soil so that the soil will not be able to “EVER” produce organic food either cash or food crop. The biogenetically modified chemistry will seep into the water table and then that’s it for Pakistan and its population. This is all we need. Monsanto should be kept out of PAKISTAN.

@jiye bhutto benazir
are you an agriculture specialist? What is the evidence of your claim? I will not point out the funny genetic terms you just described however would like to point out the green revolution that India has seen in recent years was owing to genetic engineering.
But I donot speciallize in trhis area and will be very careful to comment on this subject.
One thing that always surprise me is that every tom dick and harry in pakistan comments even on super specialist areas. Thats exactly what happened in kala bagh fiasco.
Can we just stop spreading rumours and leave it to people who understand it?

oh why Govt. is making such a blunder..PPP has a lot landlords agriculturists ,, can someone explain to them these effects which people are talking…may be they can convince Govt. to stop this……why agriculture experts are silent on this issue

The quality can be sustained if the quantity is enough. If you guies stop multiplying like cockroaches then may be genetically unmodified food would be enogh for you.
I think load shading is to blame.
Pakistanis are now 18 millions (Zardaroo) while they were 16 millions during elections.wow.This is called positive exponential model.
I am still waiting for the any politician to comment on family planing. But it is haram ,isn’t it? where are my taliban lover friends?what is your fatwa ?

Monsanto and GM Food: The Global Seed Police
“…Monsanto is the bugbear of indigenous markets, rural communities and the developing world. It promotes itself as having the salvaging force of the Second Coming, when its behaviour is closer to that the carcinogenic herbicide producer ‘U-North’ in Michael Clayton.

But how is this second coming initiated? Firstly, through a scientific frame of reference that is panoptic: numerous food groups, for instance, are tested with BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) genes, including mustard, rice, okra, and eggplant. These are then patented. Take Nap Hal, a wheat strain used in making chapatti, which suffered that fate in 2004. Then comes the re-education programme.

Farmers are cudgelled into accepting Monsanto’s world. They must roll over and accept this revolution, or so goes the line from seed warriors and proselytisers of genetically modified (GM) food. Take one of its defenders, the prominent Australian scientist Sir Gustav Nossal, …”
