Modern GMOs just accelerated what white humans did in the 1960s with the industrialization of agriculture.
Please, be aware that hunger is not a problem that will be solved by "GMOs=more food=less hunger".
This is cheap corporate technocratic propaganda
We live a world where the largest prevalence of hunger is among the rural poor (=smallholder farmers), even in regions like Latin America, the worlds largest food exporting region, where 1 in 4 people experience food insecurity.

Hunger has to do with access and is an economic and social problem. By advocating to use (expensive) technology to increase the agricultural production, you harm the hungry children of smallholder farmers.
After the revolution, we can talk about GMOs, but until then, they won't serve the interests of the poor.
The food system and agricultural economics sucks and is complex. Sorry.
The solution?
-> support resilient, agroecological smallholder farmers to achieve food sovereignity.
-> Ask grassroot organizations of the global south* what they think about how to solve the hunger and environmental crisis. (e.g. https://viacampesina.org/en/la-via-campesina-calls-on-states-to-exit-the-wto-and-to-create-a-new-framework-based-on-food-sovereignty/)
* oh, and they are really critical of western "environmentalism" and "certified organic agriculture" and stuff.
