Genetic modification to gene editing is not for me! I am not against science at all, but some things should not be meddled with, in my opinion, as Mother Nature is doing a good job on her own! No, I am not against breeding to improve the plant; this is working with nature as the job should be achieved. I am also a big believer in epigenetics, where the seed is naturally enhanced to improve its genetics, returning to the environment in which it’s grown, constantly improving disease resistance or other favourable traits to help its species survive. Nature doesn’t fail; every plant wants to succeed and reproduce going forward, evolving for the changing environment for generations to come. Sounds very similar to humanity! This is how it has worked for centuries.
