furthermore, farmers are forced to plant "refuge" plots - plots that do not get GMO seeds, nor get herbicide/pesticide treatments. This ensures that there is plenty of resistance-less plants/insects left in the gene pool to cross breed with any plants/insects that have developed a resistance - there by preventing the resistant plants/insects from taking over and becoming dominant. Quite brilliant when you think about it.
