No, it actually sustains the land, whereas GMO farming ruins it in 1-2 harvest seasons.

Hi Lokiare, I would much appreciate if you could show me the science backing your claims.
Kind regards, Liv.

http://whoismonsanto.com/10-things-monsanto-would-love-you-to-believe lots of references to studies here on all aspects of GMO.
Here's a study on GM crop yields: http://earthopensource.org/gmomythsandtruths/sample-page/5-gm-crops-impacts-farm-environment/210-2/
My main issue is that they don't really understand what they are doing. Its like trying to learn to code without a manual. They are at the copy/paste stage where they can isolate a section of code, which they can't read, but they know what it does, so they copy it from one organism and paste it into another organism. Unfortunately code in one area affects code in all other areas of the program.
Not only that, but DNA is read in two ways: the direct reading of alleles, and the reading of the proteins once folded. Its kind of like reading the first letter of each line of a page and getting a completely different message for something else. When you start copy/pasting stuff around you mess up the 2nd message. Combine this with protein and gene networks and you end up with massive issues, which they do not understand.

Utter stupidity. There is a war going on between corporates. This meme seems to be more of a PR attempt by a corporate not of true science.

Hi Jeypee, I made the meme. I am a Norwegian agronomist and social worker who is concerned with food security and social justice issues. I am appalled by all the lies being told about agriculture by people who have no clue, and Channa's quote just nails it. Sorry if it perturbs your predjudices.
Kind regards, Liv.
