GMO 's are a big topic in the world of food and farming. They in my opinion have become a hindrance on farming and agriculture. A large issue that has come up is saving seeds, farmer want to save seeds for farming to save money and grow more. But the companies they buy the seeds from have genetically modified the product and have received patents for them. My proposal to this would be to ban the ability to get a patent on any type of food, primarily seeds. This would benefit farmers and consumers health would be increased as there are health risks to having GMO's. It would allow farmers to buy seeds at a cheaper price again dn also save money by being allowed to once more save seeds. I think it is an outrageous overreach of our government to allow a business practically own a food because they changed some aspect about its nature. The business did not create the food nor the seed. It is a natural occurrence and should not be subject to ownership by a specific corporation due to a change in its genetics which in some cases just allows it to grow in a certain environment.
