Peasant intervention on synthetic biology : Convention on Biodiversity: La Via Campesina

 

October 11, 2012: Under synthetic biology life will not be a product of nature but of a lab and it will be patented and privatized.

These organisms will lead to unpredictable interactions with nature, genetic contamination of our crops and threaten the health of our ecosystems.... http://viacampesina.org/en/index.php/main-issues-mainmenu-27/biodiversity-and-genetic-resources-mainmenu-37/1311-convention-on-biodiversity-la-via-campesina-intervention-on-synthetic-biology

About 80 percent of canola growing along roadsides in North Dakota contains genes that have been modified to make the plants resistant to common weed-killers.
