Plants that are more resistant to herbicides/pesticides (weeds/bugs) due to GMO is my main gripe. Indoor growing and hydroponics is the best solution to this from my point of view. I have no problem with making food more nutrient-rich via GMO. I am well aware that all foods get sprayed, I'd be nice if none needed to be used and plants didn't get modified to make their own herbicides/pesticides.
I'll probably anger both side of the debate because I'm not 100% on one side or the other.
- _devang 9y agoI'm probably with you on this but there is an environmental advantage to herbicide tolerant crops (GMO or not). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5033196/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5033196/ Also indoor farming/hydroponics is great for crops that are mainly water (think tomato or lettuce) but much less so for staple calorie crops like corn or wheat.
