Hybridization has been happening for millennia, I'm talking about lab created GMO crops.
Hybrids are created by propagation of seed/pollen. GMOs are genetically altered organisms that contain DNA additional to their own, artificially spliced in my science. They are not the same in any way.
It has been proven time and again that these randomly inserted genes will recombine in unpredictable ways. Additionally, bugs have managed to adapt to the built in BT toxin, as well as weeds have managed to adapt to glyphosphate - all via natural selection. Now to combat this they are testing the usage of agent orange as the new weed killer. Putting harsher and harsher chemicals into the ground isn't a good thing any way you cut it.
Also, traditional crop rotation allows nutrients to be replenished in the soil between plantings of the same crops. Because of lack of crop rotation and traditional farming practices, our overall food quality and output has decreased. By rotating fields from crop to graze land, additional carbon can be absorbed, and magically delicious grass fed animals can be created. Animals feeding on their native diet produce less methane.
Sorry to be long winded, but IMHO all of these technological advances in farming have been made at the sacrifice of the final product. Everything is about cheaper and faster, nobody worries about quality.
Edit: read up on the GMO salmon (aquabounty iirc) they're trying to get approved. When released into farming lakes they quickly devour all competing fish, then plant life, then become cannibals. Shit like that doesn't happen in nature and has no place on my dinner table.
