The Voice of All the Farmers Who Couldn’t Speak Up Against Furious Companies in the World: PERCY SCHMEISER
Percy Schmeiser had for many years continued his ancestral legacy of farming. He had a non-GMO farming approach by growing his own seeds. As a seed conservator, Schmeiser inspected the crops each summer, observing how they reacted to too much heat, drought, or rain. He would try to find the strongest plants and save these seeds for next year's planting. In short, he was a person who made a living by devoting himself to farming. But one day, a multinational US-based company called Monsanto filed an accusation against Percy Schmeiser: It claimed that the canola seed Percy grew contained a technology in its gene. It was a pesticide-resistant gene. After the crop has grown, you spray the whole field with herbicides, it's called Roundup, and it kills all the weeds, but it doesn't harm the crop itself, so it doesn't work.
