Organic is Better for the Environment
Over the years, the media has created a lot of hatred for GMOs, to the point where those who would most profit from them frequently want them outright outlawed. People believe that GMO crops are essentially science gone mad, Frankenstein-versions of food that will kill us all or turn us into mutants due to a lack of scientific understanding. It is solely founded on fear mongering and a lack of scientific knowledge.
In actuality, GMO foods save the environment in ways that organic farms just cannot since they eliminate hunger. Think of a GMO crop that is specifically engineered to be more productive, resistant to disease and pests, and resistant to drought. More people could be fed by this crop while using less water, land, and pesticides. These are all better options for the environment.
Since organic farming would need more acreage, more natural areas, such as forest land, are being destroyed each year to make way for agricultural land. Even if the pesticides are made of organic compounds, additional pesticides and herbicides are required to keep the crops watered and the area irrigated.
One of the worst things humanity has done to itself may be the GMO scare campaign, which has caused what has been shown to be a safe and environmentally friendly way to feed literally millions of people to be disregarded in favor of unfounded fears.
