Hem... maybe I am mistaken but most gmos are not to increase yield, better taste or better nutritional qualities.

Usually, if we look only at the ones who are actually available on the market, is to enable the use of mass herbicide or resists specific pests. A lot of them look more motivated by marketing factors to create vendor lock-in.

I see GMOs in food as a temporary escape for monocultures. Ultimately I think we'll need to abandon this practice.
