Michael Pollan The Botany of Desire

This article talks about farmers and how they plant. Before GMOs farmers would have to use a lot of pesticides and chemicals to make sure bugs do not destroy the crops. Genetic engineering promises to replace expensive and toxic chemicals they use to use on crops. For example they got a gene from the soil that kills potato beetles and put it directly in the potato. With this new technology, agriculture has entered the digital age. – John Alicea
