It's almost as if he's asking for these companies to stop innovating. Crop research isn't free, and the government can't (or won't) afford to do it. Obviously

It's almost as if he's asking for these companies to stop innovating. Crop research isn't free, and the government can't (or won't) afford to do it. Obviously the solution is to have companies fund the research and be expected to give it away to the world and not protect what they've created. I wish people stopped the whole "monsanto is evil! GMO is evil!" bullshit, and start lobbying their government to fund public crop genetics research.
