Did you know that over 90% of all corn and soybeans grown in the US are genetically modified? This is a recent innovation, but controversy has raged for decades, despite scientific consensus.
The famous Golden Rice, enriched with beta-carotene, was developed by Professor Ingo Potrykus in 1999. This GMO product effectively combats vitamin A deficiency, saving millions of people from blindness, especially in Asia and Africa.
In 2016, the US National Academies of Sciences confirmed that GMO crops do not pose any unique health risks compared to traditional ones. Natural selection, which transformed the wild tomato into the modern one, also constitutes genetic modification.
In addition to yield improvements, GMO technologies reduce environmental impacts. For example, GMO cotton with the Bt gene in India reduced pesticide use by 50% by 2014, improving farmers' health.
Over 280 scientific organizations, including the World Health Organization and the European Commission, confirm the safety of GMOs. Make decisions based on scientific evidence, not outdated myths.
