"...of the substance that is in the walls of plants"

I read the article recommended by you, sir.
There is nothing new in this technology. It could have been used before. Geomates from PVA sludge to combat soil erosion (which is the basis of desertification) have now made pasta.
The point is that such technologies work on soils, even if they are heavily eroded. But not in the pure sand of the Gobi desert. So far, 200 hectares have been harvested. And, in secret, there is an absolutely golden value of grown products.
I am silent about the fact that even if you rebuild all the deserts, including the Sahara (in times increased by man in the era of cutting-fire agriculture), food for all will be enough for a very short time.
And then again the dilemma: or GMOs, or forced sterilization, or the death of thousands of infants in Africa and Asia from starvation.
However, for environmentalists, the ban on GMOs is more important than some babies there, isn’t it?
In addition to commenting on the fact that any plant and animal selection is a genetic modification, the opponents of GMOs refuse at all.
Unfortunately, the combination of the "three-eater" and the hopnik, as it is not selected, the opponent of the GMO will be issued, then the canonizer of Nicholas II.
