As soon as GM crops are grown, freedom of choice is removed from the farmer growing conventional or organic crops. no because organic is a purely arbitrary definition which is why organic farmers can use certain chemicals but not others, but can also use much the same veterinary medication, but with different withdrawal periods As for conventional, the only way gm would stop people growing conventional is by being so profitable that they could not afford not to. Pay more for conventional and gm will fade away See what has happened in Canada, for example, where it is now almost impossible to grow organic canola, because of contamination by GM varieties. The same would happen in the UK. Interesting, by your argument there is no reason why we should not import GM cotton for clothing or GM maize gluten for livestock feed because this would not effect the growing of organic varieties.
