This article is the last one of a special "Engineering Our Food. A Discussion Of GM Crops" 2017 issue of the Harvard College Review of Environment & Society. Today there is a consensus on the need for more sustainable agriculture, yet there is strong controversy over the right course to take, particularly between two directions to follow: high-tech agriculture, notably biotechnology, and agroecology. However, beyond the controversy, these directions have some common points. Indeed high-tech agriculture needs to take agroecological aspects into account to avoid ecological and social damage. For its part, agroecology needs much techno-scientific knowledge, advanced applications, and technological tools, in addition to local and farmer knowled...
