You can insert genes that produce substances that are fatal for certain insects while completely harmless to humans. Very common in the states especially in corn.
Nope. Biodynamic certified agriculture allows the use of the fungicide copper sulphate at up to 15kg per hectare.
losing its reputation seems like a bit of an overreaction. France already produces wine that is great . . . and some that are definitely not so great. It hasnt lost its reputation on the back of those wines that are already bad.
