This was a great article. Thanks for sharing! I have shared this with a few of my colleges. I am all about microgreens and organic products. This related to what I am involved with and I am happy I understand a little more about what's going on.

how on earth can GE crops be climate ready crops in the context where the genetically modified crops are less safer to both the human and his environment. What about the deletrious nature of GE crops over local landraces and the cons it has in its heavy reliability.
why dont we opt for organic version with lesser threat to the mother nature

Thank you for this insightful explanation of the dilemma that faces humanity in times of increasing food shortages due to climate change: GE foods may help at the margin, but nothing beats organic food productivity, as Dr. Vanadana Shiva has proven. Organic food is more efficient; doesn’t hurt the environment; doesn’t require a royalty payment or special pesticides; and, most importantly, doesn’t alter the human intestinal gut flora and it related (protective) immunity. Let’s hope we step back from the brink before our bodies and ecosystems are irretrievably altered by GE crops.
