A handful of the world?s largest agricultural biotechnology companies are seeking hundreds of patents on gene-altered crops designed to withstand drought and other environmental stresses, part of a race for dominance in the potentially lucrative market for crops that can handle global warming, according to a report being released today.0513 05 1 2
Three companies ? BASF of Germany, Syngenta of Switzerland and Monsanto of St. Louis ? have filed applications to control nearly two-thirds of the climate-related gene families submitted to patent offices worldwide, according to the report by the Ottawa-based ETC Group, an activist organization that advocates for subsistence farmers.
The applications say that the new ?climate ready? genes will help crops survive drought, flooding, saltwater incursions, high temperatures and increased ultraviolet radiation ? all of which are predicted to undermine food security in coming decades.
