Midland, MI based Dow Chemical company is joining forces with World Wide Wheat, LLC (W3) of Tempe, AZ to develop yet more varieties of "biotech" wheat. While its website claims, several times, not to engage in development of genetically modified organisms, it looks like W3 has changed its mind. It's new partner, Dow, is a leader in developing GMO's.
Dow Chemical and Monsanto have been on a years-long buying spree, sucking up seed company after seed company. This has left them in the position of dominating the seed market worldwide and giving them the ability to single-handedly determine which varieties are available to grow. This, in turn, gives them the ability to dominate the worlds food supply.
If you think that having the world's media outlets controlled by a small handful of individuals was a bad idea, wait until you see what having two companies controlling the worlds food supply looks like.
