genetic contamination of non-GMO crops, for one. GMO monoculture is a threat to biodiversity, which puts agriculture at the mercy of a few large corporations whose interests are mostly centered on short-term profits, not the long term security of the food system. sometimes those interests intersect, but not always, and not for everyone.

the GMO megacorporations hired goons to threaten to murder the family of a researcher who did work on the topic, and because they fund all the agricultural research that's going on at universities, got him thrown out of his position.

> 'He brings up my family', recalls Chapela. 'He makes reference to him knowing my family and ways in which he can access my family. It was very cheap. I was scared. I felt intimidated and I felt threatened for sure. Whether he meant it I don’t know, but it was very nasty to the point that I felt "why should I be here, listening to all this and I should leave".'
