Doing the Lord's work.
I could tell from the picture but I understand that not everyone grows them. Really, OP should put "[potato]" in the middle of the title.
I thought they were re-hybridizing them?
Well, guess I need to read the article.
This won't become a major headline until people start starving and rioting ..... until then, it's just interesting.
The USA is a major food exporter. The exports get redirected to domestic consumption when there are problems. So unfortunately, it won't actually make headlines between the emotional kid's school project, pro police and nostalgic nationalism, there is simply no room left in the broadcast without edging out billionaire agenda pieces.
Its happened before
and by that time its way too late to do anything about it
Meanwhile the "green" crowd bought right in to the whole "no GMO" bullshit which, like "organic food" is nothing but a marketing ploy designed to separate them from more of their money, and have set a field that could literally keep the world fed through this crisis, back significantly, if on reputation alone. All while sitting on their high horse and feeling like they are the ones saving the environment.
Just one more reason why education is so important (and why we deliberately get such a poor standard of it).
Maybe. But also it could be people you know just don't want to support that evil corporation Monsanto.
You're just proving my point - Monsanto isn't the problem, nor are they GMO, they are a single company, of many, that uses GMO technology.
The problem is capitalism, and by focusing on a tiny symptom of it and acting as if you're saving the world, you're not only completely missing the point, and playing right in to the hands of the capitalists who have profitable solutions to their manufactured problem to sell you, and a deep appreciation of the distraction you're providing them, but you're also contributing to the ignorance and fearmongering of a technology that could help solve world hunger.
But hey, I get it, it's so much easier to shake your fist in the air (and at anyone who doesn't buy in to anti-science nonsense) and shout about "monsatan", than it is to address the actual issue.
Centralizing control over food supply in a monopolistic company that sells the seeds it a terrible idea. You don't want to give a bunch of shareholders control over global food supply.
The technology could improve lives. But not in the hands of Monsanto. Not even if you are buying their product. Nor if you are supporting them on lemmy out of all places.

Show me where I even implied anything of the sort?

At this point I'm just going to point you to my previous reply, because I can't be bothered to repeat myself.
Fucking snowflake crops.
