Which environment? The one that existed 1000 years ago? The one that exists today? Or the one that we are creating?

Where we live. A fertile, wholesome, natural place that isn’t poisoned. A place not overrun by plants that could not exist in nature and can only have been created in labratories with technology that didn’t exist 100 years ago.
Farmers can figure out another way to grow food without resorting to genetic engineering.
Consider that plants were bred to grow on N-P-K. They don’t naturally need only N-P-K. But they were bred to grow on just those 3. Most of the nutrients in heavily farmed soil are gone. NPK gets put back in the soil periodically.
But grass, grains, vegetables, etc are all much more nutritious if the soil in which the plant grows contains a wide variety of minerals.
Sea water contains all minerals. If properly diluted, applications of plain old sea water can be made to the soil. This will replentish the minerals that are long gone from the soils, and will provide humans and animals with the trace minerals that humans and animals need in their food.
But salt water / sea water is free, so Monsanto can’t make the big $$$ there, so farmers really don’t know much about the benefits of sea water.
