Stuck in inefficient government R&D & regulation, market-oriented reform is the most fertile ground for China’s next agricultural breakthrough, says a business-backed, non-govt thinktank on biotech.
Governments love to regulate. They love to license. They look after their own. They think they back winners but it rarely turns out that way. The struggle to increase productivity is the struggle against government permitting.
Seeds are not an industry and making China reliant on GMO foods or one use seeds made by multinationals would be a terrible mistake. I do not see a discussion about the real dangers of GMOs and their use by multinationals to create dangerous dependency anywhere here.
