GM crops also have significant economic benefits.

Genetically modified crops (GMCs, GM crops, or biotech crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques.

But GM crops do not benefit only those who grow and consume them.

Given their benefits, GM crops repeat index the proportion of farmers who, after trying a GM variety, choose to plant it again is very high.

This debacle matters because many GM crops provide tangible benefits for people and the environment.

And GM crops currently in development will deliver even more direct and easily identifiable consumer benefits.

Finally, it is often claimed that GM crops simply mean costlier seeds and less money for farmers.

Future generations of GM crops will bring even more benefits but only if they are allowed to flourish.

When scare tactics replace scientific debate, whether about GM crops or climate change, nothing good can come of it.

In fact, opponents often assert that commercial cultivation of GM crops has been a disappointment, because it has offered little direct benefit to consumers.

Consider, for example, that, because GM crops require less chemical pesticide, fewer farmers and their families risk being poisoned by runoff into waterways and ground water.

To that end, consumers must understand that GM crops hold great potential, while posing negligible risks, and governments must adopt regulatory policies that face facts and reject pathological science.

After the cultivation of more than a billion hectares of GM crops worldwide and the consumption in North America alone of more than two trillion servings of foods that contain GM ingredients not a single case of injury to a person or disruption of an ecosystem has been documented.
