Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    They don’t inherently do so. Unless you have some biological claim to that effect?

    The only reason they encourage monocropping is because the seeds are just that much better than the alternatives, so farmers are less likely to want to grow other options. A similar effect happened when F1 hybrid seeds were introduced, leading to the Green Revolution.

    In that regard, having a broader variety of GMO cultivars with many kinds of crops would help diversify farmer usage.
