Who benefits from GM crops
Our February 2009 report looks behind the spin and exposes the reasons why GM crops cannot contribute to poverty reduction, global food security or sustainable farming.
The report exposes hard facts about genetically
modified (GM) crops grown today – facts that conflict dramatically
with the hype concerning speculative future GM crops that may never
materialize.
The findings of the report support a comprehensive
United Nations assessment of world agriculture which concluded in 2008
among other things that GM crops have very little potential to
alleviate poverty and hunger.
