Yeah, there's the rub I didn't want to get into in my original post. The problems with the food chain are more about sustainability than producing enough food, and GMO crops that we've seen so far tend to aggravate rather than solve the problems of monocropping, excessive tillage, etc. That's because the goal of GMO so far hasn't been to improve the food supply, but rather to improve vendor lock-in for megacorporation agribusiness and the associated financial interests. It isn't to solve the needs of either farmers or citizens.
