We produce more food than we need in the world. The problem is a distribution one and a money debt problem.. GMO's are pushed by a few very large companies for hugh profit, these people don't care about feeding the world. Do your research!!

If you want to double your crops and have them healthy strong diverse and nutritious GO ORGANIC. Mono cropping is killing the soil through depletion, chemical poisoning and devoid of microbes, humus, worms & all the good stuff, Doesn't it look like they are going to war vs living with and off the land? So if you sew GMO'd seeds, cover them in poisons, chemically poison the soil or if you breed it into the plant it means YOU are eating the insecticide for sure no way to wash off. WAKE UP PEEPS
