No one who is involved in this kind of work thinks it's the solution to all environmental/production/health woes. Such technologies are however part of a holistic approach. Additionally, things like climate change (including what's already in the pipeline) are so rapid, that similarly rapid responses are paramount. We could stop generating CO2 today, and traditional plant breeding practices would still struggle to cope with maintaining yield due to the inertia in the system. What we need are effective technologies and and a focus on addressing ecosystem/environment problems, not or.
