There Is No Reason Why A Company Like Monsanto, For Example, That Is Pushing Gmos, Cannot Go To Kenya, Partner With The University, Partner With The Research Institutions, And Try To Promote - In A Responsible Way - Advanced Techniques To Help Farmers.

Sometimes We Become Bound By Other People's Thoughts Because We Are Not Sure About Ourselves.
