How GMOS Can Help Us Do More With Less
Doing more with less is the challenge of our age, and GMOs help to address that challenge when it comes to agriculture. We celebrated this year’s World Environment Day by launching the first of a series of informational infographics to show how GMOs help to conserve our resources and land. Launched in a column at Forbes.com, our series’ first infographic highlights how GMOs help protect the environment by allowing farmers to produce more crops, using Read More >
Keeping Farms Sustainable With GMO Crops
It’s crucial for farmers and ranchers to be able to incorporate technology on their farm to improve sustainable food production. GMOs allow farmers to fight insects and weeds more effectively and to enhance soil health. To third generation Minnesota farmer, Gene Stoel, there is nothing more important than the legacy of leaving his land in better condition for his children. Since 1990, Gene has been farming GMO corn and soybeans, which have reduced his farm’s Read More >
Quantifying the Benefits of GE Crops
Did you know that over 90% of soybeans, cotton and corn grown in America are genetically engineered? Since the year 2000, the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), part of the USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS), has been tracking the percent of GE crops grown on U.S. soil. Their results are now summarized in an easy-to-read table which highlights the widespread adoption of GE crops across the country. Here are their key findings: Of all soybeans Read More >

Freedom, Fireworks, Hot Dogs and Biotech!
Independence Day is a day when America comes together to celebrate family, friends, and our independence from Great Britain in 1776. It definitely would not be a typical 4th of July in my family if I did not have my aunt’s delicious corn on the cob - the American delicacy. Regardless of drought, pests, or cold weather I can always depend on having this 4th of July treat thanks to biotech crops! Unfortunately, not everyone may not be able Read More >
1 of the 2,000 Articles Supporting GMO Safety
On Thursday July 24, 2014, The Huffington Post published a blog titled Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs) Have NOT Been Proven Safe. The title alone made me question the author’s integrity. Personally, I was expecting the author to cite some academic sources to make such a claim; after reading the blog, it was clear that the author’s title did not reflect the true narrative of her logic. Her main argument for making this bold claim is that Read More >
