In a world dying of famine because of genetic engineering run amuck? -- that seems to be the set up, the initial dramatic problem. (12 words)

>>>They are basing their future society on GMO everything, and unleashed the crop destroying disease themselves.

Unintentionally or intentionally?

If it's "GMO everything" that includes the human genome, right?? And if so,? then isn't there a bigger issue at stake here:? eugenics, genetically engineering? "better" humans?

What is the story really about?? (The decline of genetic diversity in crops predates GMO by decades.? GMO is a complication of the problem -- not the cause.)

Agreed with the above - it's very hard to see the forest for the trees (pardon the pun...)

What is the crux of the story?
Her fighting and defeating the 'evil corporation'/high tech people?
Or her raising a successful crop?
Or her learning to communicate and finding a family or group of friends?
