I found the article I talked to you about earlier this morning, and I'll give you a copy. It provides excellent data on genetically engineered crops and the social, economic, and humanitarian benefits. In the 12 years since genetically engineered crops were introduced, the growth in acreage has been double-digit.
I'll quote from the article:
This very high adoption rate by farmers reflects the fact that biotech crops have consistently performed well and delivered significant economic, environmental, health and social benefits to both small and large farmers in developing and industrial countries.
There are now 23 countries worldwide that are growing GM crops, and 12 of them are developing countries.Ten million poor farmers have been growing GM crops in those developing countries. And they have enhanced their farm income significantly and have improved their economic condition dramatically.
