Why are we funding GMO and not sustainable agriculture? ( conspiracy )

2,500,000 farmers brought out of poverty for $252,000,000

1 trangenic brought to market for $136,000,000

Who needs to demonize GMOs as dangerous. They're simply a stupid investment compared against the "low technology" alternative.

I use scare quote because agroecology is as science heavy as any other applied science.

This isn't a conspiracy at all. Our government works on kickbacks. Little farmers kick a little and get a little. Mega Corp gives a mega kick and gets a mega kick.
