It is opinion either way but in my opinion not only isn't it necessary, but it clearly threatens global biodiversity. Proper sustainable farming techniques produce an abundance and a variety of food, so the extra 1% increase on a huge monocropped field isn't even something that makes sense for third world communities.
On the biodiversity thing, viewing your website leads me to believe you appreciate nature, so I'm just scratching my head that you haven't made the connection. Ohh well, downvote me all you want buddy. You are entitled to your opinion also.
