Last I checked, "organic" and "sustainable" were not synonymous. So, a delaration that "organic produce may not be genetically modified" is irrelevant to a discussion of GM sustainability.

There is a substantial portion of the sustainability community (including organic labeling standards!!) who would disagree very strongly with that one. See this wikipedia entry for example: "In most countries, organic produce may not be genetically modified." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_food Using genetically modified seeds as a “sustainability” practice???
