An Interesting Comic: GMOs Are Making an Agricultural Crisis in India Even Worse

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

I am generally a fan of GMO technology, but this comic is still food for thought. Thurman argues that Monsanto has the power to extort nations through monopolies, and that it has wielded this power in India. It's not the usual cookie-cutter anti-GMO spiel that many activists wheel out.
