Despite GMO supporters' claims in Hawaii, the “Chemical Agriculture Age” is not essential to producing enough food for all the planet's inhabitants.
A recent opinion piece in the Maui News blog opposing organic agriculture and in support of biotech GE (GMO) research in Hawaii accused organic agriculture of being a reason people are starving.
Support Hawaii Local Organic Farming.
It was ridiculous and over-reaching and perpetuated more fear. Fear that if you in some way oppose GE chemical agriculture you also oppose feeding the starving.
In the 2014 study conducted by University of Berkeley Institute of Food, researchers demonstrated that organic agriculture could satisfy the world’s appetite. Organic agriculture can compete and potentially even create higher yields and more food over a longer period of time.
