I’m usually on the side of the “environmentalists”, but in this instance I can’t see the downside. Gene-modifying crops in ways that allow us to produce more nutritious of higher quantities of crops on less farmland would be such a game changer for our emissions and biodiversity.
But I’m very curious to learn more, so what would the detractors for this kind of research say is the danger?
Patents for one and killing the current production, which combined gives corporations ultimate control.
