In connection about the decision, which seedlings we should use in our tomato greenhouses, our foreman brought us seedlings of Monsanto Seed Company in Kenya.
The name Monsanto which is a company from America came to our notice as a company that is observed critically in many places in the world and marred by controversy. When one googles on internet, one finds thousands of opinions for production and use of Genetically Modified seeds. We found many opinions against Genetically Modified products.
We left it at that this time and would not like to take any kind of position against a product or a company. Everyone has reasons for his actions.
We "Swisskenko " "not as Farmers "have tried to collect information unbiased on this subject and to be able to make an opinion. In our view, today, this very complex and far-reaching topic cannot be overlooked. There are many opinions that today, we still cannot be able to estimate with our knowledge what effect genetic engineering can have on this world.
For this pragmatic reason, we decided with much force, to follow the natural optimization of Agriculture. We are the right direction with examples such as Push & Pull Maize or Artemisia. We do not recommend the use of GM seeds until we can be able evaluate better, whether it will do us harm.
