Gmos will ruin our existing food systems

MCHUGHEN BELIEVES THE PRODUCTION OF GMOS IS BEST WAY TO PROVIDE FOOD SECURITY FOR THE PLANET, PARTICULARLY IN POORER COUNTRIES. “If Europe and the United States banned GMOs outright, it probably would not cause a huge impact, apart from an increase in the price of food. (A lot of U.S. farmers would also get pretty annoyed, since 90 percent of them who can grow GMO crops do so.) Poorer countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, won’t get by without GMO technology,” McHughen says. Products such as drought-resistant seeds would provide a huge benefit to these countries.
