A Race to Save the Orange by Altering Its DNA

[Bring4th_Austin]

Unaware consumers and farmers are not willing to put up with the relatively higher monetary expense of growing crops in balance with nature (which Steiner and others have advocated).

There is a rather large and growing culture of both consumers and farmers who sacrifice the high monetary expense regardless of whether our social structure supports it, at least in certain parts of the US and other countries.

I have always wondered if subsidizing sustainable farming to the same capacity we subsidize conventional and GM agriculture, while cutting current subsidies significantly, would give the market the push it needs.
