Excellent summary to counter GMO opponents - unfortunately the elistist attitudes many environmental groups cancel their good work by preventing the distribution of life saving technologies in the developing world by
A scientific look into needless fear of technology. I learned so much from Mark. It was recommended by several of my science sites.
Mark Lynas is a skilled writer, and his style and rigorous analysis did not disappoint me.However, I didn't find the subject matter as interesting as his books about climate change and nuclear energy.
A fascinating review of GMOs, Monsanto and the various campaigns to stop them being used, despite their advantages. Mark's discussion of group think was very interesting - why members of a group persist with a view which seems counter to their world view.
I was among the throngs in the 2017 Science March in Washington DC, which according to the Wikipedia authors included as many as 100,000. Other marches around the world were also well-attended. Washington's Peoples Climate March the following week was twice as large. Yet both marches saw an abundance of anti-GMO signage,with seemingly far less genetic engineering advocacy. The contradictions were jarring.Lynas, a former anti-GMO activist, does a creditable job to retrace his shift of opinion and to give all sides -- even the much-maligned Monsanto -- a fair hearing with appropriate context.In doing so, Lynas elevates SEEDS OF SCIENCE to a higher level; this is a book Dean Schooler Science, Scientists, and Public Policy, 1971, 338 pages with illustrations. or Thomas Kuhn The Structure of Scientific Revolutions might appreciate.Because .. .1. It demonstrates that evidence-based progress in science is deeply affected by organizational, political and social factors.2. It shows that scientists are not immune to emotional adherence to opinions whose basis can erode beneath them.3. It shows that despite polarization and rigidity in other sectors of society, within science it is possible for minds to be changed, and for science to advance, albeit along a jagged path. (Lynas cites Stewart Brand's seminal remark that ".. . the environmental movement has done more harm wtih its opposition to genetic engineering than with any other thing we've been wrong about" -- from Whole Earth Discipline: Why Dense Cities, Nuclear Power, Transgenic Crops, Restored Wildlands, and Geoengineering Are Necessary.4. It demonstrates that professional and government associations can be important, if not universally persuasive. Lynas cites the AAAS, WHO, AMA, National Academy of Sciences, British Royal Society among others -- as influencing his own views and helping to advance lay education broadly.5. Lynas indirectly warns that even as international groups edge toward open science, more flexible peer review, and less medieval publishing practices, even well-funded sources can be denied an equal voice. They can simply be shouted down, as has been done across the European Union.6. It shows how the confounding of multiple causes and consequences can lead to faulty populist reasoning, such as connecting GMO restrictions with the well-intended pesticide restrictions of the organic farming movement, as shown by this typical Amazon product label 365 Everyday Value, Organic Wheat Square Crackers, 8 oz. A closer reading of Rachel Carson Silent Spring, as Lynas argues early in this valuable analysis, should be undertaken by those on all sides of this fast-changing technology.
Mark Lynas switched sides. He used to be an eco-terrorist -- one who went into test fields of "genetically modified organisms" (GMOs) at night with a machete to destroy them. Now he speaks at farmer conferences in favor of those same GMOs. What happened?Seeds of Science tells Mark Lynas's conversion story. He decided that he wanted to be a science writer, and that meant he had to follow the science. And the science is pretty clear -- GMOs are no different than plants modified using other techniques that we humans have been using for millennia. Just like with climate change, scientists almost universally support GMOs (when used wisely -- hardly anyone supports, for example, turning trees luminous so they replace light poles).That switch to the science tribe made Mark Lynas stand up five years ago and publicly recant. He apologized. Since then, he has worked for the other side. That has often meant traveling to Africa and Asia to work with plant scientists who are helping small farmers in developing countries cope with pests, disease and drought. Genetic engineering is not just Monsanto any more. Local scientists too have the tools to use it.Indeed, Mark Lynas doesn't promote Monsanto and its Roundup-Ready commercial crops like corn, soybeans and canola or its commercialized Bt cotton. He notes that Monsanto's patent on Roundup has expired, so Chinese chemical companies now produce a generic version. Monsanto's initial patent on Roundup-Ready soybeans has also expired, so farmers are free to save and plant those seeds.He focuses instead on seeds that are made available through local governments or non-governmental organizations, like the Gates Foundation. Plants that small African farmers (who are mostly women) might farm, like virus-threatened cassava and banana (matoke), and drought-threatened corn (which he calls maize). Or small south Asian farmers might farm, like virus-threatened papaya and insect-threatened cotton and eggplant (which he calls brinjal).Even after switching sides, Mark Lynas still respects many of his former colleagues. People like George Monbiot, a former neighbor of Lynas's and an environmental columnist for the Guardian newspaper. Indeed, Seeds of Science is as much a personal tale -- an autobiography -- as it is an argument for using GMOs. There's little preaching or polemic. Instead, there is soul searching and conversation with both sides.Feelings run high about issues like GMOs. Facts don't mean as much as feelings. Atavistic tribal feelings trump scientific facts, on both sides. People tend to first take a position, and then find facts to confirm their position.Mark Lynas tries to take a more nuanced stance in Seeds of Science. To a large degree, he is successful. It was very interesting to me to read how he changed his mind and what he thought then and thinks now. The stories make the book as much as the facts and science. That makes the book one to read no matter which side of the GMO debate you stand on.Because like them or not, GMOs can bring big benefits to people like the women farmers of Africa, who struggle against pests, disease and drought using tools from the Middle Ages. If we deny them the option to use modern tools like GMO seeds -- and with current policies we do -- at least we should be sure we understand why we do it.
