| + | * Reasons why GMO is unsustainable: | ||
| + | ** '''Patented seeds''' mean that farmers can't legally save seed stock for the next planting. | ||
| + | ** '''Soil infertility''' due to the chemically-intensive nature of GMO farming. (Glyphosphate herbicide is particularly problematic.) | ||
| + | ** '''Loss of biodiversity''' (aka monocropping) increases the likelihood of a single-point failure mode (a single disease can destroy more crops). | ||
| + | ** '''Terminator seeds''' mean that seeds collected from this year's crop are infertile and cannot be replanted. | ||
| + | ** '''Centralization''' harms resiliency and gives the GMO seed producer too much unaccountable power. | ||
