The More We Can Grow On Already

There's Almost No Food That Isn't Genetically Modified. Genetic Modification Is The Basis Of All Evolution. Things Change Because Our Planet Is Subjected To A Lot Of Radiation, Which Causes Dna Damage, Which Gets Repaired, But Results In Mutations, Which Create A Ready Mixture Of Plants That People Can Choose From To Improve Agriculture.

We've Gotten So Good At Growing Food That We've Gone, In A Few Generations, From Nearly Half Of Americans Living On Farms To 2 Percent. We No Longer Think About How The Wonderful Things In The Grocery Store Got There, And We'd Like To Go Back To What We Think Is A More Natural Way.

In Agriculture, People Have Taken Wild Plants That Can't Be Eaten By People - And Turned Them Into Wonderful Food Sources. And That's Because Genomes Can Change, And People Working With Plants Have Picked Mutations. Mutations Are Nothing More Than Genetic Changes.

New Molecular Methods That Add Or Modify Genes Can Protect Plants From Diseases And Pests And Improve Crops In Ways That Are Both More Environmentally Benign And Beyond The Capability Of Older Methods.

If Everybody Switched To Organic Farming, We Couldn't Support The Earth's Current Population - Maybe Half.
