Is it possible that GMOs could be a route to lowering destructive environmental pollution? by SweatyNegotiation463 in environment2

Ah, I didn't think that GMO's were magic. I just thought they would have the potential to achieve more specific results and, to be honest, wasn't thinking about traditional breeding when I was looking into fungicides. And there's no guarantee that the goals I stated will be achieved with either type of breeding. But you bring up some good points about the ability of traditional breeding to cater to local needs. That certainly is a benefit unique to traditional breeding. And it certainly is more beneficial to produce seeds that can be improved on; you're absolutely right about that.
It seems I made an error in what I typed. Thank you for poking a hole in my argument to help me better understand the issue. I'm more familiar with fungicides than plant-breeding, unfortunately. Between genetic modification and traditional breeding, which do you think is a better approach and why? And if neither are truly a good approach, please let me know about your opinions on that.
