How does genetic engineering help farmers create more robust crops? Learn about environmental benefits of GMOs, including reduced carbon emissions.
there are specifications required such as crops can’t be grown with synthetic fertilizers or pesticides and crops cannot be genetically engineered or irradiated. This means that organic protein powder is non-GMO. When using organic protein powder, you can be confident you are putting any of the...
Crop rotation is an important part of organic farming for multiple reasons. When farmers grow the same crops in the same location year after year (this is called monoculture), it negatively affects the health of soil. Crop rotation is much healthier for the land than monoculture. What is crop...
Scientists are also using genetic engineering to enhance the nutritional value of some staple crops in order to address malnutrition in many developing country populations. Read more about this potentially life-saving application at:http://www.gmoanswers.com/improving-nutrition-developing-world ...
This paper reviews the evidence on the socio-economic impacts of GM crops and analyzes whether there are patterns across space and time. To this end, we investigate the effect of GM crops on farm-level costs and benefits using global data from more than one decade of field trials and survey...
Organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops. The ecological benefits of organic farming are counterbalanced by higher food c
In 2016, agriculture technology company DuPont Pioneer announced a new variety of CRISPR-edited corn that, because of how researchers altered its genes, is technically not a GMO. The distinction between GMOs and gene-edited crops is fairly simple. Traditional GMOs are made by inserting foreign ...
Foundation denounce reports of higher yields of GMOs CAC ambassador cautions NASS on GMO seeds “It wasn’t like this before because we were using natural seeds. Farmers usually kept some seeds from their harvest to use in the next farming season. But in a bid to make more profit, some co...
