Excellent post!!
If I may add my holistic thinking:
I think the locusts are natures way of answering bad land managment and possibly cleaning up plenty of poisoning...
Have you heard about GM crops failure/scandal from India earlier this month ?
This is the direct (and only) result of GMO and corporate greed! GMO done this way ensures that there will be NO future instead of feeding the growing population better...
Instead, huge increases in insecticides and fertilizers may have been the most significant changes.
Long-term analysis shows GM cotton no match for insects in India
Genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton produces its own insecticide. The seeds were introduced in India in 2002 and today account for 90% of all cotton planting in the country. Bt cotton is now the most widely planted GM crop on small farms in the developing world.
