And so they started genetic engineering in order to make seed non-renewable and to continue to sell pesticides. Roundup ready crops sell more Roundup... Now they're working on 2 elements that are being pushed by the US Department of Agriculture and Sagli, the envoy for climate change. Because right now every wrong kind of agriculture and food activity is being offered as a solution to climate change. And the project is called AIM, the Agriculture Innovation Mission.

Man who made Impossible Burger, he says animals and plants are unimprovable technologies..."Unimprovable technologies, and I have a technology that will constantly improve." It's failing, 14 patents, it's failing. I'm doing my next book on climate change and fake food push and while I'm writing the chapter, one by one the companies are failing..."
