GMOs fail to improve yields ‘and will eventually lead to ruin’

A shocking report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has found that, when it comes to their supposed viability in modern farming, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) hardly live up to the industry hype. In fact, the chief investment officer of a large firm recently declared that GMOs are destroying the natural order “and will eventually lead to ruin,” presumably by contaminating natural crops and the earth with irreversible genetic pollution.
“Agriculture is heading for a wall,” stated CNBC chief news correspondent Mark Koba, quoting the words of Universa Investments President and CIO Mark Spitznagel, during a recent broadcast. And the reason for this, as explained by microbiology professor and retired senior scientist Ramon J. Seidler, Ph.D., in a recent piece for MailTribune.com, is that GMOs appear to have set in motion the destruction of the natural order, not to mention the fact that they simply do not work.
“GMO seeds have not been shown to definitively increase yield potentials,” admits the USDA report, which can be accessed in the source links at the bottom of this article. “[I]n fact, the yields of herbicide-tolerant or insect-resistant seeds may be occasionally lower than the yields of conventional varieties.”
These statements are pretty self-explanatory, and the mainstream media has even fessed up that GMOs are not all that they have been cracked up to be. When it comes to crop technologies that are actually feeding the world, non-GMOs are organics are still the best options, according to the United Nations Commission on Trade and Development. A 30-year investigation by the Rodale Institute also found that organics outperform GMOs on almost every metric.
“Agroeconomists have shown repeatedly that the best-yielding, most-affordable crop varieties, to ‘feed the world,’ are those derived from conventional non-GMO hybrids,” wrote Seidler for MailTribune.com.
