I've been studying biology and genetics at univ., so I understand the topic very well. The problem with GMO is not the technique per se, but the fact that companies can lock agricultors with specific pesticids, regardless of the damage they can do to environment.

I read the abstract of the two links. The first one just says "tarrifs bad" without even mentioning our discussion above.
The second abstract said they did not find any evidence of "tarrifs good", other factors had greater impact for growth. This is not the same question either.
