I’m no expert on this by a long shot… but are you suggesting that going all-organic would increase crop yields around the globe? In other words, if we abandoned GMO, fertilizers, etc. – all of the “bad” stuff – would the resulting yields not decline on an aggregate basis?[/quote]

There are scores of different crops in scores of different types of farms around the world. High-tech solutions will probably work well in certain environments, not so well in others. Seems like the high-tech stuff isn’t working well in India for whatever reason. There’s not going to be any one answer on how to feed 7 billion people, if it’s even possible at all.[/quote]

I’m not sure what technology/GM solution people are expecting to severe drought followed by torrential rain and flooding.
