On the left in all these photos is 'the wheat product' by Monsanto. On the right is a perennial wheat. The wheat crop on the right fights dangerous climate dynamics.
Twelve months of the year the perennial crop has roots that old the soil, the soil holds the nutrients, it prevents erosion and controls topsoil loss. It does it naturally. It does it extremely well.
The root systems of the perennial crops will maintain the integrity of the soil including moisture. These roots hold moisture. They maintain soil integrity while also allowing grazing when the crops are not being harvested.
These are NOT genetically modified. These are HERITAGE crops grown in the USA within the centuries of this country.
There is no reason for genetically modified crops anywhere. The crops are highly viable and productive. The perennial crops also save costs. They maintain the integrity of the soil so well, the farmers don't necessarily have to apply fertilizers or lime or any other soil treatment because these crops take care of themselves.
Multi-national companies like Monsanto don't have to sell seed each year and that is their goal in any lawsuit. It has everything to do with profits and not people.
Genetically Modified Foods are a failure, in the USA and globally. Genetically modified foods is like putting iodine in salt. But, the human body still has to incorporate the nutrient into metabolism to make HEALTH.
Genetically modified foods only continue the paradigm of the Climate Crisis. They don't solve the droughts, they don't solve the variety of trade needed between nations to bring all forms of nutrition to their people. Genetically Modified Foods is a dreamscape that robs the integrity of humanity and believes people can think their way out of any dilemma. That is not the case. The human body does not change on an annual basis to have their food sources change with them. There are nutritional basis for every human body and it is very predictable. There is no reinventing the wheel here.
When any company has to file lawsuits against the majority of American Farmers they have to sooner or realize they don't meet the need and need to get out of the way. The American People don't want GMOs and they don't have to have them.
There are military veterans finding wonderful lives by farming to the interests of local communities of their own history and nutrition to match. We are proud of them. Very proud of them. No one told them to go out and be a farmer, but, they managed to find their way just fine.
Monsanto has outlived it's day, is antiquated and struggling to hold onto what remains a ? purpose ?.
The Local Farmer can feed the world without GMOs. They need to be recognized as a precious resource to the state and federal governments to help balance trade between countries. The local farmers don't feed junk to their cattle or chickens; they feed them wholesome and time tested grains.
Perhaps, the international community whom reject USA Beef need to look to their own or American organic and local farmers to fill their gaps. They may even be more than satisfied as to what they find. A CONTRACT to provide is all that is required. The importing country can provide the 'power leverage' to make it happen.
In the USA, local food cooperatives could bring everyone together to make it happen in a way that will expand all their interests. The local food cooperatives are owned by the patrons and are not affiliated with large corporations. The reason they are owned by the patrons is because they honor the patron and do not impose faux standards on product choice.
