- Genetically modified products are among the most tested products.  In fact, a meta-study of more than 1,700 studies found that there was no evidence to support the claim that GMFs have harmful effects on humans.  A review of 29 years of livestock health and productivity statistics found that there were no adverse effects to livestock either.
- Genetically modified products can reduce pesticide use.  A German meta-study published by PLoS One found that on average, genetic modification technology adaptation reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%.
- Genetically modified products help us adapt to changing global conditions. Many of America's best croplands such as California are experiencing blights, invasive pests, and drought which are harmfully impacting farming. Biotechnology can help develop resistant crops.

Genetically modified organisms are produced through gene transfer, a process in which a desired gene is identified in an organism's genome, is cut out of that organism and transferred to a target organism, and pasted onto that organisms genome.
