Midwest Farmland Offers Opportunity for Investors | Nov 27, 2012 - Nightly Business Report VIDEO http://www.nbr.com/videos/video/1993317102001/midwest-farmland-offers-opportunity-for-investors-nov-27-2012#.ULXGr4XZ03Z

 

Despite last summer’s drought, investors are seeing profit potential in farmland all across the Federal Reserve’s 7th District. A growing number of investors from pension funds to mutual funds are making farms a hot commodity, driving the "absent owner" corporate industrial agricultural USDA plan driving up food speculation on the commodity markets.

 

(A good deal when tax dollars almost guarantee no loss with government insurance for drought and floods...and putting further out of reach a return to sensible reduction of genetically modified food and all the attending pesticides, chemicals and ecosystem damage they create playing havoc on both the environmental and human health...And then there is the food speculation game...

Why genetic modification of crops and livestock is inherently uncontrollable and hazardous

Why genetic modification of crops and livestock is inherently uncontrollable and hazardous | YOUR FOOD, YOUR HEALTH: Latest on BiotechFood, GMOs, Pesticides, Chemicals, CAFOs, Industrial Food | Scoop.it

October 22, 2012 Institute of Science in Society - Mass Genome Engineering - With Large Implications

 

Whole microbial genomes can be changed at will simultaneously and rapidly; with large implications for safety  by Dr Mae-Wan Ho

... that is why genetic modification of crops and livestock is inherently uncontrollable and hazardous (see [1] GM is Dangerous and Futile, SiS 40). Synthetic biologists must proceed with caution in targeting plant and animal genomes, because the unpredictability and potential hazards are multiplied many times over.... http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Mass_Genome_Engineering.php
