Well, yes, but also if I actually had the power to make that change I would do it gradually through a market system for exactly that reason. One can dream, though.
One small change, Market systems are prone to market failures. They're also rather inefficient, because there needs to be inefficiencies or else there's no profit.
No, the best path to reducing pesticides and the over reliance on fertilizer is regulatory, with people on the ground checking compliance. Our food supply is too important to be left to the inefficiencies and corruption of "market solutions"
The sweet spot is in actually testing for, and enforcing regulations. Fund that part properly, and you're most of the way there. It should also not need to be said that the testing and enforcement cannot be outsourced to some corporation, and cannot be self reported.
I'm also against patents on food but this is a bad argument. GMOs are artificial and can reasonably be patented under the same rules as any other technology.
What is with the anti-reason luddites and being so good at getting porn stars on their side? Jenny McCarthy is another as well as PETAs small cohort of nude exhibitionist girls.
Maybe the next pandemic WHO should hire a few to do a "vaccines are sexy" promotion. Is that it? The only way to convince people to not die a preventable death is have someone with big tits give them the answer?
The majority of GM crops have been modified to be resistant to selected herbicides, usually a glyphosate or glufosinate based one. Genetically modified crops engineered to resist herbicides are now more available than conventionally bred resistant varieties; in the USA 93% of soybeans and most of the GM maize grown is glyphosate tolerant.
Im kinda excited about his cabinet continuing but yeah. Biden could be replaced by one of those novelty singing fish and id be somewhat neutral to it still.
