Organic cultivation is kind of a silly concept. Who cares whether the fertilizers that you put on crops are processed industrially, or biologically? Objections to pesticides, I can understand, given that some of them, incidentally the ones that actually work, like DDT, are sort of detrimental to humans as well as pests.
Mostly it's an excuse to mark up vegetables 250%.
Hybrid seed that doesn't grow true if reused is kind of an issue, but that has nothing to do with GMO crops, versus regular, naturally bred hybrids.
EDIT: source, grew up as basically a poor white Yankee subsistence farmer. Could probably have qualified as an organic farmer, if we didn't sprinkle Sevin and Rotenone on things to keep them from having the invasive beetles chew the bejeesus out of them. Hint: bugs eat Sevin and Rotenone and just become larger, angrier mutant variations of themselves, like the Hulk munching on concentrated gamma radiation.
- Object to GMO crops on basis of politics and intellectual property.
- Support organic cultivation for reasons of environmental and cultural preservation.
