Nobody wants GMO food, but Seehofer doesn't care:
There should be no preferential treatment for organic farming under his watch. "Conventional farmers are just as important to me as organic farmers," he said.
Unlike Künast, Seehofer also wants to promote the cultivation of genetically modified plants. These play an increasingly important role worldwide - "this must also be possible in Germany". So far, farmers have been almost prevented from cultivating them by the strict liability rules. He will change the biotechnology law decided by the Red-Green coalition. However, the protection of humans and the environment will remain guaranteed.
Oh really - for him, organic farming and conventional farmers are equally important? Of course, both are screwed with the genetically modified plants. It's getting harder and harder for organic farmers to farm biologically - don't tell me that wind pollinators suddenly aren't anymore, just because they've been genetically modified. And the conventional farmers? They will only be more strongly tied to the corporations that want to bring this crap to market.
Genetically modified plant and seed material is not in the interest of consumers or agriculture. It is solely in the interest of large corporations, which patent this crap and thereby gain even stronger control over the means used. Seehofer is selling out agriculture and consumers - and in doing so, he actually treats all parts equally badly.
However, I don't quite understand why the crackpot then calls himself Minister of Agriculture and Consumer Protection - just call him Corporate Minister, that's closer to the truth.
