Greenpeace makes the world a better place .... I'm not sure.
It's an organisation that would have a major negative effect on the world as we know it if they had the power to complete their politics.
-
They promote organic grown food and work against the use of pesticids.
If we dropped pesticids and industrial produced fergilizers we would see a crop yield decrease of minimum 1/3. People will hunger. -
They work against use of GMO foods.
Minimum 80% of all soya is GMO at the moment - along with other crops. Major parts of Asia will see massive hunger if GMO was dropped. Prices on meat from live stock would also sky rocket.[/quote]
You'll be surprised how much "food" (grains) is used to supply factory farms, which are very inefficient.

So the solution is to phase out factory farming. That will reduce the demand for grain to less than half its existing amount, actually reducing average food prices. (Note that I said "phase out" rather than "ban" since we want a smooth transition, not a sudden switch. The economy hates large derivative terms...)
