Staci Matlock New Mexico's spicy chiles can make grown men cry and ease the common cold, but they haven't faredwell against root-rotting organisms known as Phytophthora. Decades-long efforts by New Mexico State University researchers to grow a Phytophthora-fighting chile have proven largely futile. But scientists are now hoping that biotechnology and genetic research will help them create a new version lacking none of its ancestor's spice - and the state Legislature is providing some help. Lawmakers recently approved a $250,000 annual appropriation to New Mexico State University for both genetic-engineering research and mechanical harvesting. Both are key to the industry's survival, say commercial chile growers. "A lot of problems are solvable through conventional breeding," said Steve ...

Admittedly [Ignacio Chapela] had always stuck like an ornery thistle in the throats of the Berkeley poobahs. He had been brought on board as an assistant professor in 1995 almost certainly because of his association with Novartis. Two years later, a rising star in academia, Ignacio had become the president of the faculty committee of his department. But despite his previous affiliation with the biotech moguls, Chapela was not a gung-ho advocate of the industry. As a member of the National Academy of Science's committee reviewing the impacts of genetic manipulation of crops, he had raised questions about the unintentional spread of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), particularly from U.S. export agriculture. "I was already thinking about Mexican corn," he says, "but my peers told me ...
Because of our own habits many Americans may miss the Haiti farmers' point because 70 percent of the processed foods we consume comes from genetically engineered seeds - genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Together with Syngenta, Dupont and Bayer, Monsanto controls more than half of the world's seeds. Therefore, it is reasonable to question this American 'benevolence', and understand that the Haitians' concern is based on simple capitalistic principles. It's not just about the dangers of the chemicals and possibilities of future GMO imports that causes the Haitians concern; it is that Haiti's future depends on locals producing food for Haiti's peoples' consumption. [Chavannes Jean-Baptiste] and his farmers are against America's "largess paradigm" and say Monsanto represents a threat ...

Behind this revolution in farming is Monsanto, the storied, St. Louis-based chemical company. Monsanto not only manufactures Roundup, but also genetically engineered the Roundup-resistant gene into the alfalfa that [Paul Rasgorshek] began growing three years ago. Today, "Roundup Ready" alfalfa is planted on some 220,000 acres nationwide, and Rasgorshek is an unapologetic genetic-engineering loyalist. "In today's agriculture, if you just sit back, you're not gonna survive," he says. "If you don't change with the times, you're gonna go down. Following [Charles R. Breyer]'s initial ruling, Monsanto and Forage Genetics had seized on the idea of "coexistence" between genetically modified, conventional and organic crops. The two companies sent a letter to alfalfa growers asking them to write...

I do a lot of thinking when I'm in a tractor," says Jerry Tlucek, who runs a dairy south of Nampa. "And I like to be with God - you know, just the Lord and me." Tlucek was the first farmer in the country to grow Roundup Ready alfalfa hay, and his fields are a sort of testament to the promise of biotechnology: They stand emerald-green and surreally flawless amid the sagebrush and cheatgrass here. "I won't plant conventional alfalfa again. I've never seen anything like this," says Tlucek. "(Roundup) will kill every weed in there, and it won't kill one blade of alfalfa. Following [Charles R. Breyer]'s initial ruling, Monsanto and Forage Genetics had seized on the idea of "coexistence" among genetically modified, conventional and organic crops.
