Honestly I don't believe that will go down well but we'll see what happens, and no offense but even if the seeds have the pesticides already in them I'm sure they'll still make their way into the soil/ water somehow. What we really need to do is rely less on all these chemicals for growing food because they are what is destroying the environment and the reason why it is becoming extremely difficult to control pests and disease because they just inevitably overcome and adapt resulting in us having to use stronger and stronger chemicals.

Putting the pesticides in the seeds wouldn't do what your thinking, it would just kill the seed. If you mean genetic engineering where they specifically select certain traits in the DNA to use if they are desired or remove and replace then the only reason we haven't gotten that far yet is because we are still trying to figure out how exactly genetic engineering works and also there is the problem where msny people prefer non gmo's because they worry about the ethics of it and also if it is actually safe to eat because believe it or not but we don't know if eating them will be bad for us and cause health problems/ defects.
