This study investigates corporate dominance of the world’s food supply. Multinational corporations have a monopoly control over seeds and the accompanying pesticides, which is leading to the disappearance of small farms and traditional methods of farming. Due to strict patent rights, local producers are forced to buy seeds that can only be used once, thereby fostering a feudalistic relationship of perpetual dependence. Advancements in DNA technology have enabled corporate scientists to splice one trait from one species and inject it in an altogether different organism. This process is referred to as genetic modification or transgenic engineering. The difference between enhanced traits from genetic modification (GM) as compared to conventional methods is that in the case of GM the genes are transferred without sexual crossing. They are injected in a targeted manner in a laboratory using sophisticated molecular technology. Transgenic seeds promise to increase output and are drought and pest resistant. But these seeds create monocultures in the food system as varieties of different types of crops are lost and age-old customs destroyed.

这项研究调查了企业在世界食品供应中的主导地位。跨国公司对种子和随之而来的农药拥有垄断控制权，这导致小型农场和传统耕作方法的消失。由于严格的专利权，当地生产者被迫购买只能使用一次的种子，从而建立了永久依赖的封建关系。DNA的进步技术使公司科学家能够从一个物种中剪接一个特征，并将其注入完全不同的生物中。该过程称为基因修饰或转基因工程。与传统方法相比，遗传修饰（GM）增强的性状之间的差异在于，在GM的情况下，基因转移时没有性交。使用先进的分子技术，将它们有针对性地注射到实验室中。转基因种子有望增加产量，并且具有抗旱和抗虫的作用。但是，这些种子在粮食系统中造成了单一栽培，因为各种农作物的品种消失了，古老的习俗被破坏了。
