How about the GM corporations sue adjacent farmers for patent infringement when bees take the pollen from their fields to the non-GM farmers fields, thus contaminating the non-GM fields and then charging them for use of patent infringement, because viola, the non-GM field now has the modified genes too. It happens here. That would be my biggest worry, if I were a small farmer in one of these countries.

Looks like we posted about the same thing....

It also looks like the non-GM farmers should have been able to sue the GM's for contamination, but money rules the law.
