A_657 - As for GMOs and the use of pesticides, as far as I'm concerned, both of these choices are a step in the wrong direction, which is a ruthless fight against insects and microorganisms using chemicals or genetics. In my opinion, insects shouldn't be attacked in this way because they too are part of the ecosystem and are each useful in their own way. However, consumers should be educated to accept even fruit that isn't perfect and has been nibbled a little by insects. Furthermore, plants have their own immune system, and it's not through the use of pesticides and genetics that we need to address this, but through seed selection, fertilization, and pollination, which should be improved and strengthened. A fruit with many insect bites is a fruit that has been liked, so a high number of bites simply means that the fruit was also very popular with them. Furthermore, a fruit stung by an insect retains traces of it, and when we eat that fruit we interact with them, thus creating a situation that indirectly leads us to empathize with these creatures. Furthermore, policymakers should also intervene to help farmers if insects or microorganisms become particularly harmful to their crops. It is also important for the ecosystem to have relief and balancing mechanisms, otherwise we run the risk of real ecological disasters, such as earthquakes, which manifest themselves through biologically related events (such as a global pandemic, for example).
