Reducing greenhouse gas emissions means moving away from the use of high-energy and polluting nitrogenous fertilizers. In contrast, today’s dominant players genetically engineer and mass produce seed alongside complementary inputs including fertilizers and pesticides. Diverse plants and manure must take their place.
