Biotechnology can help us develop new, more resilient crop varieties that are better able to survive these changing conditions. The GMOs under development today, along with improved conventional farming methods and new biologic crop protection products, will help us meet the challenges of tomorrow.

GMOs do not increase yields, and work against feeding a hungry world.
Whereas sustainable non-GMO agricultural methods used in developing countries have conclusively resulted in yield increases of 79% and higher, GMOs do not, on average, increase yields at all. This was evident in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ 2009 report Failure to Yield―the definitive study to date on GM crops and yield.

# data[].attributes.body
 Though GMOs were developed with a view to reducing the amount of pesticides used, this is not always the case. As weeds and bacteria become resistant to the pesticide, farmers actually use more, safe in the knowledge the crop will not be affected.

By 2050, the world’s population is expected to increase from 7 billion to beyond 9 billion.
Farm land is shrinking but food production must double over the next 35.. Biotechnology is the only way to feed that growing population, by increasing yields to get more food from less land.

They are a risk to the environment because it can lead to herbicide resistant crops. It can also impact the food chain. It might taste weird. GMOs cross-pollinate and their seeds can travel, the gene pool will never be fully cleaned up (will always be contaminated). GMOs harm the environment as their associated herbicides can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems and soil organisms. They reduce bio-diversity and are unsustainable
