Monsanto is an American firm. Its a very powerful company with deep pockets. It operates in India with name Maharashtra Hybrid company.. Mahyco Pvt Ltd.
1stly..As a company their main aim is to make profits rather save the world. They introduced BT seeds in India. The did a massive campaign about their high yield BT seeds that do not need pesticide. Coz they have a gene that kills the worm that infects the plant while growing. This gene is called the herbicide. This herbicide kills all the organism that have relation with the crop, such as nitrogen fixing bacteria etc etc. It will kill everything but the plant. It has negative impact on the soil and the environment..
2ndly, in natural crop production, you plant the seeds and grow crops, you save some of the seeds for next season, so the cycle continues.
But in BT seeds, a farmer cannot save the seeds for the next season. BT seeds are patented by the Company, a farmer cannot legally save the seeds and in fact you cannot resow the seeds, So the farmer has to go to the Company again to buy the patented seeds for the next season. This way they have patented life and the agriculture of the whole country goes in the private hands…
Plus, once the BT seeds are grown on the farms, the seeds currupt the natural seeds. If a some BT seeds are blown by wind and those seeds grow on someone elses soil, then that farmers can get sued by the company for grwing a patented seed.
