One of the most promising advances in genetic engineering is Gene Drive, a way to quickly spread a gene throughout an entire population. With mosquitoes, there is a gene that prevents the newly hatched females from flying and they subsequently die off. Might the same technique be used for known agricultural pests? Why spray a cornfield with pesticides when we can naturalize the population of the Corn Borer Moth? Target the species that are specialized towards consuming the crops we produce. Just imagine how much pesticide won't need to be sprayed because the main pests no longer exist in the area? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_drive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_drive
