The company wants to make money, [...]
But it also means they may not bother to be too careful about
helping their customers to attend to the proper choices, the
refuges if it means selling less GM seed, or herbicide or

That's the job of the regulator you elected. Please get the job
designations right, or you will be ever disappointed.

I doubt there is any country in the world where people get to elect
agribiz regulators (certainly not New Zealand, where Brian's posting
from). They're appointees, the appointments being made by governments
that are uniformly in the pockets of agribiz. In this situation you
can't expect them to take any decision that might affect their de
facto employers' profits.

The regulatory system is designed neither to work nor to be responsive
to democratic control, so there is no realistic alternative to direct
action in this instance.
