I’m usually on the side of the “environmentalists”, but in this instance I can’t see the downside. Gene-modifying crops in ways that allow us to produce more nutritious of higher quantities of crops on less farmland would be such a game changer for our emissions and biodiversity.
But I’m very curious to learn more, so what would the detractors for this kind of research say is the danger?
