Agree

Yes, but I would prefer to ban GMOs

While the outright ban of GMOs might appeal to decolonization ideologies due to its radical approach to protecting traditional food systems and sovereignty, the practical implications of such a ban on global food security and scientific advancement could be seen as counterproductive to the broader goals of ensuring equitable access to nutrition and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.

Slightly agree

No, GMOs are the most promising solution to ending world hunger

While recognizing the potential of GMOs to address food security, a decolonization perspective would critically examine who controls these technologies and for whose benefit they are deployed. The promise of ending world hunger could be seen as overly simplistic and not addressing the root causes of hunger, which are often tied to issues of power, access, and equity.

Disagree

No

Decolonization ideology typically opposes practices that obscure the origins and nature of food products, as this can perpetuate power imbalances and hinder the ability of communities to make choices that align with their values and health needs. The lack of labeling could be seen as a continuation of colonial practices that prioritize corporate interests over individual and community sovereignty.

Strongly disagree

No, we have selectively bred crops for thousands of years and labeling just adds an unfounded stigma to the science

This answer minimizes concerns about GMOs by comparing them to traditional breeding methods, which could be interpreted as dismissive of the legitimate concerns of communities that have been adversely affected by industrial agriculture practices. Decolonization ideology often critiques such narratives for obscuring the socio-economic and environmental impacts of modern agricultural technologies.
