Corporations’ trick to monopolize food through control of patented seeds (GMO)

It was never about feeding the world.

Niklas Gustafson

Obviously not. Like in all sectors of human life and global society, the big corporations are only interested in creating a monopoly to control the supply. Even in the case of food. And water too if it were up to them (and they won’t stop trying!).
As always, they play their trick with patents, a concept that is ever more questionable since, in fact, it only serves big corporation’s ever obsession for monopoly and nothing else.

Niklas Gustafson explains it very clearly in just a few sentences.

“It was never about feeding the world. It was about controlling the seed.”

Niklas Gustafson just dropped the clearest, most chilling explanation of how we lost control of our food—and people can’t stop sharing it.

This is what he shows, step by step:

• 1980: Corporations win the right to patent living seeds
• They slightly modify what nature already created → instantly own it forever
• Farmers who saved seed for 10,000 years are suddenly criminals if they replant their own harvest
• Today just 4 companies control >60% of all commercial seeds worldwide (some vegetable seeds: 95%+)
• Their seeds are designed to survive only their chemicals → you buy both, every single year
• Break the contract? They sue you. Plant something else? The crop dies anyway.

Result:

• Independent farmers turned into customers with no way out.
• Ancient seed diversity collapsing.
• Soil degrading at record speed.
• Food moving from fields to factories.

Gustafson ends with the line that hits hardest:
“This wasn’t about helping farmers. It was about replacing them.”
