Justice
Small-holder farmers deserve the right to choose improved seeds and modern agricultural practices that can improve their livelihoods and benefit their families. Anti-GMO activism has stalled the adoption of genetically engineered crops in many countries, contributing to the perpetuation of unsafe pesticide use, hunger, and poverty. Learn More
Evidence
Science-based agriculture can preserve critical indigenous foods, such as cowpea, matoke (banana), cassava, and common beans, while reducing the environmental impacts of farming. On average, genetically engineered crops have cut chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, boosted farmer profits by 38%, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road.

Urgency
Farmers across the globe are struggling with the devastating impacts of climate change: disrupted rainfall patterns, drought, extreme weather events, pest infestations, plant diseases, crop losses, and hunger. Better seeds developed through genetic engineering offer hope. But regulatory delays are preventing millions of farmers from accessing this life-saving technology. Learn More
