Just wanting to get peoples thoughts on the subject
In the past some people have embraced GMO with the advertisement idea that it can “solve world hunger”. In that rude statement lies hidden violence. There is simply enough food worldwide, but the distribution of it is not equal. How about stopping post-colonization altogether and give “third world” countries the respect and support they have always deserved. GMO is an artificial “1st world” product to make the rich countries richer and has a devastating effect on the ecological system at large.
I actually don’t know that much about that. I am against centralization, not against GMO itself. I think many anti-GMO arguments are actually anti-monoculture arguments (except the ones about health).
I don’t know if GMO would be useful for local-scale agriculture. Maybe you can help me on that one?
GMO is pure evil. Sad to see so much support for it here. Recommended films to watch to get an idea about small scale agriculture : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Daily_Bread_(2005_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Feed_the_World
I trust academia more than films
The films are just an example to show more about small scale agriculture versus super large mono culture. And large mono culture is what Monsato stands for. It is a little bit similar with large supermarkets pushing away small grocery stores.
Sure monoculture is not a good idea, but it doesn’t really mean GMO though. It’s not the same thing.
