Without Corn There is No Country | Sin Maíz, No Hay País
A short clip of the public trial against Monsanto in Guadalajara, 2010. Monsanto seeds have a patent and poor farmers can´t pay for this. Ancient traditional methods of farming without GMO´s are still used today. When innovating we must acknowledge and respect traditions.

If we are talking about Food Security then Genetically Modified Corn (maize-maiz) is NOT the way to go. This will devastate the capacity to produce from poor farmers which are the biggest food producers in Mexico. They will not be able to afford Monsanto seed prices.

Monsanto seeds also work against genetic biodiversity. Monsanto creates seeds that are very resistant against very specific conditions, which sounds great, the problem with this specialized seeds is that entire fields are then vulnerable against changing conditions in the environment. A non-GMO field has a better chance to survive due to it´s larger gene pool.

This situation is of huge importance. What Monsanto is doing is completely unconscionable. This is why we need to create living seed banks that to safeguard genetic diversity.
