[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 8152988, member: 42914"] That's exactly what Monsanto and others have done in the USA. There was a widely publicised test case where an organic grower was taken to court for refusing to pay royalty on home saved seed which had cross-pollinated with the GM crop grown by the farmer next door. Their argument was that he should have left a big enough sterile strip around his own land to prevent it. They'd trespassed to take samples from his crop to do DNA testing on and found about 0.2% of their proprietary DNA iirc. See above! This is the issue. If the technology was open source, paid for by government, i'd have less issue with it but the main idea behind the commercial developers is to capture even more of the farm income. It seems it's NOT about improving the world, that's just their convenient smokescreen.... [/QUOTE]
