Yes, but the issue is not the GM crops causing issues, but the pesticide they are engineered to survive.

If people just grew the GM crops, there wouldn't be a problem, but it's the use of the accompanying pesticide that is destroying innocent crops.

That's the externality.

If they didn't use the herbicide, they wouldn't want the GM crops.
