Agribusiness is not the answer. It is the problem.
Supporting internal combustion power is playing into the hands of large corporations which will continue to pollute, to eradicate countless species in a domino effect from pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified internal manipulation to produce these chemicals. What this will do is starve the pollinating insects, birdds, mammals, and thus starve those species which depend upon them for food. In return, it will prevent other wild species of plants from being successfully pollinated, with cascading effects causing immense extinctions. This has been written on at length, although business interests and red-herring wars prevent media from addressing the immense and deadly problem.
Here is just one aspect: Do you know that potato and tomato plants are poisonous, yet a portion of their output is good and nutritious. Consider that genetic modification places genes which produce for instance, a toxin. This gene is not switched on and off by homeotic genes, which do this in most all organisms of any type.
What that means is that every part of any plant modified can and does produce the toxin in every cell, including the pollen. This means that whatever toxin is implanted kills whatever creature is susceptible to it, whether "pest" or not. This means starvation for the predator, and failure to pollinate for plants dependent upon the dead pollinator.
Another aspect:
Agribiz, unlike traditional farming methods seeks to maximize production, regarding any land upon which anything else is growing as loss of $. Therefore they eradicate plants growing at the edges or in fallow areas. (I saw the rise of this in the late 70s, in massive dark clouds of dust, just as we learned the drought of the 30s caused. This was due to agribiz buying out farmers, cutting down windbreaks and plowing fallow areas for immediate use)
This further starves pollinators who depend upon flowering of different plants across the warm seaasons to complete their life cycles. Thus further starving birds, mammals, amphibians, fish, reptiles.

What's left? Just us and corn, soy, maybe a bit of Gm camelina. No bison, wolf, bear, bumblebee, bird, wildflower, fungus, fish,, deer, butterfly, nothing - just us our SUV, our corn. Like the idea?
Look into the problem more deeply than your gas tank, please.

your post is like being hit over the head with a word processor.

No matter what your point It is too hard to read

Try breaking it Up a bit.

That will make it more readable
