Why would a prohibition on GMO lead to a benefit of all the farming community? (That was your original comment)

Because it preserves the status quo. GMO crops, if they live up the promise, will disrupt the majority of current food crops.

Major economics changes in any industry entirely wipe out lots of participants. Investments in certain types of equipment no longer make sense, farms in particular areas stop making sense, etc.
