Having been both a conventional farmer and an organic farmer, when this GMO controversy first developed I decided to do my own research. I set up two test plots of tomatoes and a control. I carefully printed out all the manure being spread by both sides on this issue and incorporated it into the soil in each test plot accordingly. The control plot I just left alone. I found no noticeable difference in the size, quality, or taste of fruit in either test plot.
As a footnote: I did notice that the control tomatoes fruited earlier, had larger, sweeter and more fruit.
suggesting that perhaps just being left alone is a more productive strategy.
wow. Talk about cherry tomato picking a small study!
