Abstract
This chapter concludes and offers recommendations. Proponents of GMOs almost exclusively operate in the global, rational realm. They advance a universal “depoliticized” defense of GMOs that advocates science and free trade as objective means to adjudicate disputes over the technology. The strategy of GMO resistance is to circumnavigate the logic of rationality adopted by the proponents of GMOs and to substitute a synecdochical reasoning—a logic of association—in its place. These images thus use a logic of association to communicate a diffuse narrative of mistrust toward scientific logics. The way forward out of the seemingly intractable debate between GMO opponents and proponents is to allow GMOs, once tested, to enter the market without penalty—and then to label them.
