So if you want to reduce reliance on chemicals (which I do), then GMOs are a bad idea?

Personally I'm a big fan of projects that use more natural ways of fighting weeds and pests. I've read about some very effective programs that reduced pests by planting a specific plant around the crop fields, or (re)introducing a predator of that pest.

What do you mean by chemicals? all food production uses chemicals.

If you want to reduce monoculture, then monoculture is a bad idea :)
