That's their political agenda. When the CDU announced that the nuclear
power plants in Germany will be shut down, the greens were not
alltogether sure if they really wanted that... ;-)

Unfortunately, we already have surplus crop and other produce. In order
to keep the price up, surplus is destroyed.

Monsanto has proven that  genetically modified crop is dangerous. Yes,
genetic modifications have a long history. Yup, "trial & error
breeding". My problem with Monsanto is that they not only sell the
crop, but also poison which kills every living thing (except their
genetically modified crop).
