Organic farmers reject GM plants, regarding them as unnatural. Organic farmers do not reject these 'unnatural' plants. Greenpeace regards organic approaches as working with the grain of nature, a truce in a hypothetical war of humans with nature. This concept is simply wrong. We live on a planet where the ecology is constructed on a competition for resources.
Competition is the vital spark that energizes evolution and generates vitality and creativity.
We are not at war with nature, but striving towards a new dynamic equilibrium in which our unique biological characteristic, the human spirit, must take its place. The future will demand agriculture to be both flexible and diverse in technology, but efficient in land use. Integrated pest-management systems and zero tillage will be essential to minimize losses due to pests and weeds, and to limit soil erosion. In all this future agriculture, genetic manipulation has a unique and intimate role. Let's have some ideas.
