From the supplier: Europeans are against the introduction of genetic engineering in agriculture. Aside from possible health and environmental effects, they feel that the use of bioengineered seeds translates to a shift of power from farmers to agribusiness corporations, which produce both the seeds and agrochemicals that need to be used for such engineered seeds. Despite these concerns, France became the first country to permit farmers to plant genetically altered corn, prompting 120 French farmers to storm a storage facility of Novartis and destroy tons of genetically modified corn seeds.
