If we Genetically Modify crops so that they are more xerophytic and give a higher yield we could feed a lot more people.

Basically, they are just better.
For the Western World it seems. And I'm sure they will fuck off because you said so ;-).
Actually they are better for underdeveloped nations, they give much higher increases in yield in developing nations. The Western World does not need helping as much.
Thats right, but the information provided states;
Quote:Genetic Engineering does not feed the world. 99.5 percent of farmers around the world do not grow Genetically Engineered crops.
Also;
Quote:Ten corporations control nearly 70 percent of the world's seed market. This corporate control of agriculture means farmers have less choice.
I understand this is only a small piece of information, but what makes you think the developing World will ever see these crops.
