How is that an argument against farms of it? Does Europe not grow maize because it’s a New World crop?

Seems like a valid argument. I wonder what an environmentalist would have to say, considering a bird can carry seeds away from a farm, right?

Maize is a cultigen and can’t reproduce without human intervention so it cannot get to be invasive.
