From article

and net yields from applied genetic engineering in the United States are only a bit higher (and then only in monocrop systems) than net yields from seeds developed using more conventional techniques.

All of this explains why producers of genetically engineered seeds feel they need protection.

GMO’s have been remarkably unsuccessful. The alleged “Science” has all been controlled by Monsanto, Bayer etc.
Bill and Melinda Gates think it’s ducky and shove money at this alleged technology like they do at birth control, vaccines, mosquito screens for bed ridden Africans, condoms for monkeys (that one is a joke) etc.
GMO Corn is refused by farm animals, GMO cotton is likely subject to bedbugs ( unprovable ...so far) GMO beets are filled with glyphosates, bees and monarch butterflies are dying and GMO’s are good for whom?

Ever heard of human gut bacteria? What do you think runs your health?

Yes, I am a Luddite...okay?!
