> In reality though, the criticism against GMO is how its wide-scale adoption destroys genetic diversity That's only one possible outcome, and I think it's not a very likely one long term. Genetic modification can create large numbers of variants, so could potentially increase genetic diversity significantly. I think more of a criticism is the unknown consequences of modified genetic material escaping into other species by horizontal gene transfer.
