> we need a centrally planned top-down
Your personal straw-man? Who said anything about "centrally planned"?
Farmers in India have 60% of their crops eaten by pest and have to flood it with pesticides to even collect something.
They ask smart guy on local uni to come up with a pest-resistant crop.
The university does it, everyone is happy.
Oh, apart from Greenpeace who prefers (sitting in their A/C office in NY) to starve, as "there's generally too many people".
