Agriculture is trying to do the same but keeps having to jump over hurdles put up by the public’s bucolic view of farming. Now, add the EPA to the list of agricultural Luddites. All plants naturally produce plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) to defend themselves against bugs, mites and other insects (as an example, think of the common indoor succulent called the Jade Plant).

It’s an even bigger blow to small and mid-size plant breeders. The burdensome EPA rule all but guarantees that only the biggest compan
