Environmental destruction, poverty, malnutrition, depleted and poisoned soils, small farmers in abject poverty and indebtedness to Rockefeller and Big Agrochemicals
Heaven deliver us from corporations who feel entitled to pick and choose between the multitude of rice genes! I see you did not mention Gates' push for "yellow rice" presumably thinking that it would alleviate some nutritional lack. I have prayed ever since that was announced that it failed completely.
Apparently the so-called green revolution did address over-population: by starvation.
I pray many people have learned from this lesson: unintended consequences are inevitable. Especially when a large for-profit corporation is providing "solutions". I am sure it is heppening in America.
The consistent net result of Big Ag programs is that the environment is trashed, people die and they enrich themselves. It's almost as if a pattern was emerging.

Thank you for addressing this horror.
