Due to the massive failure of the crop the Punjab Agriculture University tried to step in and stop people from buying the seeds and creating the crop‚ but Monsanto continue to sell them to the people and farmers who did not know the adverse effects would smuggle the seeds in.

corporations. A prominent example of a corporation that supports and emanates a large amount of funds towards genetically modified foods‚ is Monsanto. Monsanto uses their funds towards biotechnology‚ which is the abuse of biological processes‚ for industrial use like genetic engineering. In this process‚ genetic engineers are able to produce the seeds that Monsanto sells to farmers. Which grow their genetically engineered experiments. The seeds then grow into genetically modified foods that are put into
