Is there currently a famin in Europe? Am I missing something?

I actualy heared the argument that geneticaly supirior plants distroy biodiversity on a episode of QI, since this is my source, I cannot say if Stephen Fry was correct or not.

Quote:What production methods do you mean? The actual genetic modification? Then its EU laws that should change. There is nothing wrong with genetically modifying things; we've been doing it for millennia without realising it. The Monsanto methods just speed up the process.

Washing seeds, meat and vegetables with chlorine for example.
Almoust all major food factories in the US do that, and it is illegal here.
