Worldwide Agreement: Safe Biotech Foods On Our PlatesWorldwide Agreement • May 26th, 2022
Crops improved through biotechnology have been adopted by farmers in the United States and around the world at rates never before seen by any other advances in the history of agriculture. Much of those crops have been fed to livestock and poultry. There has not been one single documented health problem associated with consumption of meat, milk and eggs from livestock and poultry fed biotech crops. From the first significant commercial plantings in 1996, double digit growth in each subsequent year has led to more than 252 million acres of biotech crops planted in 2006 in 22 countries. These crops are grown by 10.5 million farmers — 9.5 million of whom are small-scale farmers in the developing world. The reason for such impressive adoption rates is simple — agricultural biotechnology delivers significant and tangible benefits, all the way from farm to fork.
