<br> <br> It relates to arguably one of the most significant extropic problems we currently face and its solutions.<br> <br>

First, hunger and starvation are significant causes of entropy -- every

year killing from 10 to 36 million people [6].  This is highly

unextropic because all of the energy, matter and time that went into

creating, growing and teaching those human beings is completely

lost!     </blockquote></div>  Which has nothing to do with GM foods.  The problem of malnourishment is a *political* problem - not a technological one.  There is plenty of food for everyone on the planet.
