I am a farmer, I am not in favor of transgenic, because it hurts health.

From our point of view the transgenics are a false copy of the real food. These modified products have no flavour and they are bad for health.

I am against GMOs: they consist in the genetic alteration of natural products, the idea that this practice is encouraged to "remove the hunger of the world" (30 years ago).

But it was found out that it did not work and it created serious problems on people´s health.

For example the invention of the gene "Terminator" (not kidding), for which only produces a seed crop plants to replant, the farmer must buy new seeds. How can be a good thing?

The presence of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) threatens exports in organic farming and conventional seeds.

A few years ago Time magazine referred to the massive trend by large corporations to buy up small seed companies, destroying any competing stock, and replacing it with their patented or controlled brands as "the Death of Birth." Monsanto additionally has had farmers sign contracts not to save their seeds

GM trees or "supertrees" are being developed which can be sprayed from the air to kill literally all of surrounding life, except the GM trees. There is an attempt underway to transform international forestry by introducing multiple species of such trees. The trees themselves are often sterile and flowerless
