Video: GMO Soybeans & Sustainability Producing stable food yields for a growing world population is a major challenge for agriculture.
Soil erosion, water shortages, climate change and shrinking farmland pose serious threats to essential resources, while human needs continue to grow. But what is the concept behind sustainability and can GM crops (e.g. herbicide tolerant soybeans) help us move towards a sustainable form of agriculture? News: Meta-analysis shows: Less pesticides, increased yields and profits (5 Nov 2014) The average agronomic and economic benefits of GM crops are large and significant. Reduced chemical use by 37%increased crop yields by 22%increased farmer profits by 68%. Study European top scientists are advocating for GM crops(30 Oct 2014) More than twenty of Europe's most prominent plant scientists signed a joint letter warning that Europe will never meet agricultural targets unless it starts allowing GM crops.
Article The Cost of Delaying Approval of Golden Rice Report. Do Seed Companies Control GM Crop Research? Advances in agricultural technology—including, but not limited to, the genetic modification of food crops—have made fields more productive than ever. Farmers grow more crops and feed more people using less land. They are able to use fewer pesticides and to reduce the amount of tilling that leads to erosion. And within the next two years, agritech companies plan to introduce advanced crops that are designed to survive heat waves and droughts, resilient characteristics that will become increasingly important in a world marked by a changing climate. Unfortunately, it is impossible to verify that genetically modified crops perform as advertised. To purchase genetically modified seeds, a customer must sign an agreement that limits what can be done with them.
Research on genetically modified seeds is still published, of course. Shields is the spokesperson for a group of 24 corn insect scientists that opposes these practices. GM organisms.

The answer you’ll hear most often is that agriculture needs to produce more food because the world’s population is growing. That’s certainly true, and Monsanto—along with many other companies, governments and organizations—has been working to develop seeds and other systems that help farmers grow more. Another part of the story But it’s important to note: the world doesn’t just need more food. A growing debate Right now, there is a big debate over how agriculture should work, and we understand why. Different opinions Some people believe the correct answer to our challenges is to move backwards in time toward an agricultural system that relies less on human innovations and more on human labor. What we believe At Monsanto, we believe agriculture should be improved for the same basic reasons that medicine, engineering, architecture and computers should be improved: because human innovation is at the center of human progress.
