He holds the patent that could destroy Monsanto and change the world. [View all] forest444 Oct 2015 OP

The obvious answer is there's no practical application Major Nikon Oct 2015 #9

not yet, at least Tumbulu Oct 2015 #10

No doubt he is fighting the battle of his life to get public awareness for his breakthrough. Judi Lynn Oct 2015 #8

He's said it would take $10 million to get it to market, so he's opened his patents to Australia. ancianita Oct 2015 #13

Thanks for the info. fasttense Oct 2015 #15
