For more Stories, Food News, or Cooking Fresh videos: cookingupastory.com This 3-part series of interviews with Dr. Vandana Shiva about the future of food is one of the most contentious, revolutionary, profound, and important discussions of any, we have had to date on Food News. This is more than about the safety of biotechnology; its about the ability of all of us to have a choice of the foods that we eat, and for our farmers to be able to freely use their own seeds, and grow food in the manner that they choose.

@nardnardn I have heard of classical breeding but the term genetic engineering is almost always applied to recombinant DNA techniques, knocking out genes, etc. Let’s say you are right that the term “classical genetic engineering” aplies to conventional hybrids, your argument still doesn’t make sense. Hybrids(cross breeding) are developed through ” inter-species” breeding. Where as “intra-species” breeding is selective breeding. But it doesn’t matter, what substance would you? like to look at?

@myndy86 the old form of hybrid engineering is called classical genetic engineering. That’s what I found out. In classical genetics the breeding is exclusively intra-species. This form of genetic engineering has been on for centuries.Whereas in the modern genetics it is possible to do inter-species – in the case of animals? as well as plants. But anyways let us look beyond the mere semantics and look at the substance.

who did the captioning? at the? very beginning, he or she could not hear that Dr. Shiva is saying MYTH? It’s not the “MAKEUP of genetic engineering,” nor is it “a totally false MET.” In both instances the word she’s saying is MYTH. and it goes on from there. Horrible miscarriage of transcription.

@blahblahlovesunicorn Genetic engeneering itself is not wrong. It’s just like chemistry. As long as producers use the technology responsible and the products to be released are checked and examined by an independent commission, (which doesn’t happen at all in the USA, where Monsanto is based) there is nothing to be afraid of. In fact,? scientists have been using genetic engeneering for the last decades to determine the function of genes and nothing has gone wrong at all. The problem is monsanto

@blahblahlovesunicorn
BT-crops and herbicide crops are harmful? crops indeed. The problem is not that these crops have been genetically modified. The problem is the producer of these cropts:Monsanto. Monsanto does nog give a shit about nature, health and the enviroment. Monsanto only cares about making as much money as possible. Monsanto is a far too powerful company. Also patents on genetically modified organisms should be banned.

@myndy86 sonny19xx ‘s objection appears to be VS’s criticism of Borlaug and Hybrid engineering based on the state of the knowledge now. Please do not judge? and condemn people for their past actions based on the present and newly found knowledge. I agree with him on this. Thanks.

@sonny19xx I`m not exactly sure what her argument against hybrids is, perhaps you can clarify it for me. There are times when hybrids are a bad idea, for example if a form of wild rice is native to an area and you introduce a hybrid rice, there is the potential to lose the native rice or for contamination to occur. Legit criticism of aspects of the Green Revolution exist, as it has increased water contamination, water shortages, etc.? but that is about farming practices and not hybrids.

@myndy86 Sorry VS has attacked the hybrid farming techniques and thereby Borlaug and she has chosen to combine all of these practices together – hybrid and GE? – and her attack on Borlaug and her criticism of GE forms part of the same argument.

@myndy86 Whoever talks? of going against organic farming ? If it works well and good.

@sonny19xx How is golden rice(costs $100,000,000 to produce) cheaper than coriander, when you factor in production cost,? contamination cost, potential environmental and health impact, etc.? Polished rice(what golden rice was made for) is linked to increased diabetes. nih.gov/researchmatters/june2010/06282010diabetes.htm
It`s shameful to support GM, when organic and conventional breeding is better, with less risk.

We Must change our food practices this can be done by recycling of lawn grass, manure, algae and animal wastes(such as left over blood from abatoirs) as natural fertilizers. not to mention algae? as an example can be a new generation crop/fertilizer

I would just like to point out your berating of the genetics industry is shameful.
I believe genetic engineering while far from perfect is good in moderation, another fault a? grain of rice is extremely tiny and cheaper than the coriander leaf.
