The BT-Gene just puts the production of pesticides into the plant. That doesn’t magically make them not pesticides anymore. Some quotes from a UN report: Smallholders manage over 80 per cent of the world’s estimated 500 million small farms and provide over 80 per cent of the food consumed in a large part of the developing world. Moreover, multiple studies have found that smallholdings are relatively more productive per hectare than large-scale plantations (Feder 1985; Barrett 1993; Banerjee, Gertler and Ghatak 1998; Rosset 1999; Borras, Kay and Akram-Lodhi 2007) and are also more resource-efficient (Altieri and Koohafkan 2008). https://www.ifad.org/documents/10180/666cac24-14b6-43c2-876d-9c2d1f01d5dd https://www.ifad.org/documents/10180/666cac24-14b6-43c2-876d...
