It feels like mostly hype to keep people living exactly how they are, thinking someoneelse is fixing the big problem. While plant breeding will be crucial in adapting our food systems with climate change, money for maginal increases in carbon absorbtion would be better spent on reforestation with the tree varieties we have now and implementing serious changes on how modern people live. What’s happening now is just not sustainable. The level of consumption viewed as normal is not sustainable. Allowing corporations to pollute our planet for a few rich people to get even richer is criminal.
I’ll always support plant breeding projects that can improve our world but it’s so frustrating to me that it seems like money is spent trying to find any other way to fix a problem we already have solutions to.
This is what sickens me. If there was something that I or a group of people could actually do to help save the world, but the truth is corporations are the major polluters and the governments are gonna do jack shit about them. And if people would organize and hurt the companies change would happen, but it’s not gonna happen anytime soon.
I’m not at all an expert on this, but why can’t they use GURT to make the trees infertile if there are concerns about the tress out competing and breeding with the native trees?
