I’m not strictly opposed to this take, but I always point out to people that moving away from monoculture means no more mechanization, which means dramatically increased labor requirements, which in the US means vast exploitation. farm labor is a terrible job. obviously we should fight for farm labor workers and protections, but I’m not convinced farm labor can ever be a good job on a large scale
Hey I’m an agricultural engineer who has worked with GMOs before and currently researches ag + climate stuff. GMOs are fine, they’ve done some good and might be able to do a lot more. The problem is though that GMO advocates tend to fall into techno-optimist cliches where they say CRISPR and advanced multi trait GMOS are going to save the world, when they very clearly arent. From a climate perspective, GMOs are next to useless due to the ~13 year development cycle they have, meaning they cannot act nearly fast enough to avert the coming crisis. GMOs and other technical solutions are often propped up by people who dont want to do any of the work that will actually be required to stave off climate change, like massivly overhauling the global economy and clamping down western consumption. They can be useful at some things and we shouldnt throw them aside, but its also not really worth spending a ton of time defending them, and the people who do are usually bad actors.
