-You can still grow your own non-gmo crops. It is ridiculous you're on the hook for IP infringement for gmo seeds blowing into your field, but that's a legal issue, not inherent to the concept of GMOs.
-There's no reason genetic variety can't be introduced on purpose, and pest resistance is part of what GMOs select for.
