The moves by big ag in partnership with big government (e.g., S.510) to monopolize farming is one. The regulation racket by big corporates against small business is one of the worst kinds of rackets. Older varieties of plants (often lower yielding) are likely generally stronger—more resistant to disease, etc. The bio-genetic wizards can’t see every possibility in advance, and only one mishap could cause a worldwide famine.
