Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists engineered a yeast to produce the nutrient feed. Farmers could have it in two years.

That's a nice idea, but it would be better if the farmers hadn't bought that strip of field to begin with.

Farming is ridiculous like that.

Now the farmers are getting paid your tax euros because they once bought it, destroyed it and took no responsibility for it.

I like paying for a strip of land that it maintained for nature. That's a great use of taxes IMHO.

No doubt. But why does the farmer get the money? It would make more sense for the government to buy the land back for good.
