Genetic engineered food can be made to grow underwater in flooded countries or grow in deserts but also, companies also now implant a terminator gene which allows them to "shut down" the plants reproductive system, which would in turn cause the farmer or consumer to pay the company not to "terminate" the food. If GE plants give too much power to the companies the companies could control food.
