So it would seem natural to many that yields would go down without GMOs and chems. That is not true at all. Just requires a much different management strategy.
I disagree. If we forced everyone to go organic or ngmo, production absolutely would go down for the simple fact that many farmers no longer have the skills, equipment, or labor to farm without relying on chemicals & gmo.
Gmo crops have also lead to more consistent yields. Yes, organic & ngmo can yield right with gmo if managed well, but there's lots more things that needed to go right for that to happen.
On average across the entire spectrum of farmers, I have zero doubt that organic/ngmo production would be less than gmo. |
