In the last few days I have learnt with a pinch of stupor that a Friulian agriculturist claims the right of freedon to sow asking to be free to cultivate OGM cereals.
During this time we have assisted in a lot of initiatives and theories pro OGM.

These are shocking dellusions because the business of products for agriculturists has no intention to reduce their own admission.
