Mark Lynas, one of the environmental activists who helped to organize the opposition to genetically modified organisms, has recanted and now apologizes for his actions, according to a recent Slate article by Tori Bosch. It appears that he now acknowledges that to insist on food purity, and to oppose development of GMO crops and animals that could feed the world, would condemn hundreds of millions to lives of hardship and starvation. Kudos for him to for having the courage to change his mind when he better understood the facts.
You can see his full presentation to the Oxford Farming Conference on January 3, 2013 here.
