dc.description.abstractToday, we are unfortunately aware of the fact that sending food to underprivileged countries is not enough to solve the problem of malnutrition in the world. The only sustainable solution is to give each and every country the means of taking on the responsibility themselves in order to produce more food, and better food, to feed their people. In this respect, biotechnology offers real solutions. Posted by Monsanto in advertisements published in the French Press 1998, quoted in Robert Ali Brac de la Perriere and Franck Seuret: 2000:56
