As an aside at the start, you know English well enough to know "organic" may mean "naturally occuring/developing" as well as just "carbon based."


I admit I am not 100% sure when GMOs became the norm, but organic food goes back at least as far as the sixties, and seems to have been prompted by Rachel Carson and the side effects of DDT as much as anything else. GMOs just upped the ante because the long term effects are almost impossible to know now, and because they prevent farmers replanting seed, sterilize the next generation of neighboring related plants, crowd out the other plants through natural selection, and kill harmless or even beneficial neighboring organisms through biologically produced pest/herbicides.

Imagine a world where NO foodcrops made seed, because all those that do have been bred, choked or poisoned out of existence. It is already hard enough to get food from anyone but agribusiness multinationals, but if the only seedstock is that they manufacture, virtually every living thing on Earth will be wholly dependent on them. We may need Svalbard, not to rebuild a ruined civilization, but simply ruined agriculture. Organic food did not start with GMOs, but certainly needs to include them wholly apart from local sustainability and economic issues. The rest of the world constantly complains about American farm subsidies keeping food prices so low Third World farmers cannot escape poverty: Where will they be if they must BUY all their seed...?

This is playing God with far more than just our food; playing God with food is but one step on that much longer path.
