Food for though on Mon morning!

I'm more interested in that than you may think, Dai. How did you come across that fact - not your line of business, is it?
How much of the world maize & corn crops are now GM?
It is a bit of a jaw-dropper that such basic commodities as corn are controlled worldwide by just two commercial organisations, but I suppose commodity markerts ensure the prices don't get out of kilter.
I think it's more interesting that maize is totally reliant on humans to grow (i.e. it couldn't survive in the wild) and yet no one has any idea how our ancestors managed to domesticate it.
