There was a really good article awhile ago about gm potatoes that produced there own Pesticides.

The author grows some (there is a end user agreement that software people should be familiar with)

The trouble was figuring out who would regulate these new crops (in the US anyway). In the end McDonald’s wouldn’t buy them so I think that potatoe is gone. It’s a long read but it talks about how modern farming vs organic and a whole host of issues that are still relevant today .
