Rather pay than give in

"Should all the surrounding farmers be denied growing GM crops because one farmer wants to grow organic crops.?" The same answer applies as would if one farmer wanted to divert all the water source to irrigate his own crops, using up all the water and leaving his neighbours with none. In th Uk we (mostly) don't have problems with drought, but in some countries that is a big problem (as in Manon Des Sources?)

Rarely one farmer growing organic. Why should one GM farmer mess the livelihood of many others.

All the GM farmer needs to do is compensate those whose livilihoods he has damaged and continue to do as he is allready doing.

You cannot have your cake and eat it.

Actually organic farmers are as rare as hens teeth in the UK, most would be surrounded, Prince Charles at Highgrove is surrounded, it’s not an issue, but may well be if GM were permitted.
Because Organic is a small minority marketing is a real problem, the well heeled, HRH, Duchess of Devonshire, Lady Bamford, have their own brand, the small growers do veg boxes, that’s really tough, in between there is nothing.

Where I live we have a lot of organic or near organic farmers and small businesses around us, only one, on the periphery connected to a big name. Most are people with a principled belief in good farming and good practices that produce food in an environmentally sustainable way.
