Should "organic" farming turn to using localized genocide against pests?

You can't use the excuse that it will affect the ecosystem to just kill all the pest in the area since they're being targeted by poisons anyway.

Im 100% sure scientists could find ways to cause genetic disease within local pests, to keep the numbers down, potentially release viruses that target them as well

Yes

No

If you asked me whether I'd willingly genocide all insects, even knowing full well the roles they play in pollination and suchlike... I'd still say yes.
Life, uh, finds a way... and it should fucking well find a way to function without insects.

You need to get your head out you ass, as that is not what "organic farming" is about.

The concept of “localized genocide against pests” is not a recognized or ethical approach in organic farming, or any farming system.

You can un-f*ck up the environment from toxins. So no.

A virus would spread... like the hiv' they pit in your vaccine, "to hold it together" they say... but it was hiv in it and not only to hold it together...
