What does the seed industry look like today from your vantage point ?
From 1995 to 1998, it has been a wonderful continuous firework. Since then, it's like a massive hangover the day after a big party.

The world has split in two camps: the pro-GMOs and the anti-GMOs.

53 million hectares have been planted with GMO seed in the first 6 years after the introcution of this new technology, mostly in North and South America.

If European farmers and seed companies miss the boat, it will speed up the process of consolidation.
