Monsanto is still buying news?
If you would like to actually learn something new, with solid scientific base, rather than just repeating FUD cliches invented at Greenpeace 30 years ago I recommend "Whole Earth Discipline" (2010) by Stewart Brand

It's a bit rich linking me a GMO marketing blog and then saying Actually Learn Something...
There is this persistent idea that we need a centrally planned top-down solution to save the world, and I think part of it's appeal is that it allows people to believe that they're the intellectual elite.
20th century is littered with examples of such well meaning projects which all went awry (Seeing like a State - James C. Scott), but people like to believe...
And people have done that *forever,* literally since the beginning of domestication of animals and crops.
All of them were genetically modified using various techniques. None of the fruits or vegetables you buy in store today or plant yourself are actually found in the wild.
Without thousands of years of genetic modification, we'd be still eating worms and leaves, with infant mortality of 30% and life expectancy of 30 years, rather than writing code.
