The ABC has given the GM debate fantastic coverage with the following interviews. What excellent work by Rural Telegraph. Listen here to author Marie-Monique Robin, and Monsanto’s response.
Book claims Monsanto's monopoly on GM seed threatens food security
By Greg Muller, Friday, 19/11/2010
Any discussion of genetically modified food usually involves references to the multinational company Monsanto. This is because Monsanto owns the vast majority of the world's GM seeds. According to documentary maker Marie-Monique Robin, the company owns 90 per cent of them.
Proponents insist that GM crops lead to higher yields and therefore greater food security, but the question remains - if one company owns most of the seed, how secure is the food?
Marie-Monique Robin is a French investigative journalist who has written The World According to Monsanto, published in Australia by Spinifex Press. See the documentary here
Thanks for mentioning Spinifex. It was a fabulous interview. Marie Monique will be doing another radio interview early in December (not national coverage), but keep a look-out in the news at www.spinifexpress.com.au
