“Various recent studies have found that land devoted to organic farming produces 50 percent less wheat, 55 percent less asparagus and lettuce, and 23 percent less corn than conventionally farmed land of the same acreage does.”

“… research shows that there are significant agricultural benefits to GM foods, including decreased use of toxic insecticides, increased crop yields for some farmers, more sustainable farming practices. Further, no peer-reviewed studies have been published to support the health and environmental risks alleged by anti-GMO activists. One of the most comprehensive studies on the health risks, ‘A Decade of EU Funded GMO Research,’ concluded that ‘biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies.’ The $425 million study included 130 research projects from more than 500 independent groups over 25 years.”

“Overall, it is estimated that at least two billion additional people are likely to be added to the world population before it can reach stability, and some of the societies in which individuals consume the most are advocating population growth again now. For all of the countries of the world at their present population levels to reach the current standard of living of the industrialized countries would require the productivity of approximately two additional copies of the planet Earth . All of this must, therefore, be judged against the background of a world in which a sixth of us are starving, and half of us are malnourished and living in extreme poverty, with at least two billion more people being added over the next few decades and expectations for even greater levels of consumption endemic to human beings everywhere.”

Don’t worry. Genetically modified corn isn’t going to give you cancer.
“This brand of fear-mongering is what I’ve come to expect from environmental groups, anti-GMO activists, and their most shamelessly exploitive soul travelers. This is what agenda-driven ideologues do.”

“Following the release of the study, numerous scientists questioned the findings, citing ‘anomalies throughout the paper that normally should have been corrected or resolved through the peer-review process.”
