"The current legislation will severely restrict farming being viable here in the long term as various crops face new introduced diseases and pests."
This is a fabrication. The island currently has very little agriculture despite claims otherwise. Also this affects only GMO crop species which as a whole make up a minuscule fraction of the available food producing crop species. A realistic statement would read: "The current legislation will severely restrict farming GMOs here."
"Fantasy Island" where there are no diseases or pests introduced that could decimate local agriculture."
This statement is so far off, its as if in your reality there is no redress for weeds and insects besides GMO species...this is simply not true. There are other routes, granted, they are not as 'easy' as round up ready crops. Whoever thought farming was supposed to be easy...
