Use of genetically modified seeds can, but have not increased the quality of agricultural production. Genetically modified seeds have increased the quantity of corn produced and have killed butterflies. Our methods of communication about the advantages and disadvantages of biotechnology need improving. Biotechnology increases the profits of only corporations. The farmers today get the same price of wheat as they did 50 years ago.
Biotechnology is too costly to increase farmer s profits.
Biotechnology increases the profits and is good for the seed companies, and not for farmers. Biotechnology is good for agricultural trade only in the long run. Biotechnology issues are more complex and are related to social, historical, and religious concerns as well as the purely scientific. Also biotechnology is not one size that fits all some may be helpful and some dangerous. But I think the problem is the unequal power of the agribusiness companies vs. farmers maybe not the technology itself.
