Thank you very much for this insight. For one reason or another, emotion has the ability to get in the way of calm, logical conversation.

I went into this career thinking I was helping to increase the food supply while reducing pesticide use and inputs to the benefit of the environment. I recognize not all plant breeding endeavors have had that result. However I am sure there would be much greater food insecurity around the world than we have were it not for advances in seed variety development. Unfortunately there has been a vilification of traditional plant breeding along with modern DNA technologies. It is good to see this type of information available to educate people to the science and benefits of modern and traditional genetic technologies.

Would non-GMO crops use more pesticides if they are not modified for pest control? So it defeats the purpose of using less chemicals unless they are organically grown which makes them more expensive and out of reach of many people. Very complicated!
