Claire Hope Cummings criticizes the current agricultural and food system, heavily reliant on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and industrial practices, for prioritizing profit over genuine nutritional needs and environmental sustainability. It argues that GMOs, while a significant technological advancement, have not effectively addressed the core issues of food security, health, and environmental degradation, suggesting a misalignment between technological capabilities and real-world necessities.
It has been said, we have taken culture out of agriculture and replaced it with agribusiness. The larger point is that our industrial food system is harming our bodies and polluting our air, waterways and land. Claire Hope Cummings, author of Uncertain Peril: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Seeds argues that profits are driving our agriculture not the needs of eaters and farmers. This is part 3 which was originally published in August of 2009.
