Gm companies love to spout about the fact that less pesticides are used on their crops and they have higher yields. Unfortunately neither of these claims are true. Insects have developed a resistance to most gm crops forcing farmers to use more and more pesticide and more dangerous pesticides every year, not only this, but the gm crops have actually helped insects develop cross resistance. Basically gm crops are creating super bugs that are becoming ever more harder to kill or repel.
As for the higher crop yield claim, this has never been true. Industry studies abound, however, farmers aren't convinced. Many countries don't allow GM crops and they enjoy great bounties year after year.
As for the fields becoming more profitable. This is a laughable claim at best. Many farmers are going bankrupt now since they have to buy seeds every years, instead of storing seeds like they used to and using these for next years crops. Add this to the fact that GM crops are failing, well, you have hundreds of Farmers who used GM seeds filing bankruptcies, their livelihoods destroyed while they are forced to sell the family farm to pay off debts. Guess who buys the farm, none other than the GM companies that put them out of business.
Not to mention those poor Indian farmers who commit suicide after crops fail! These guys took out huge loans often made available to them by GM companies. When the crops fail they are shamed and destroyed. They commit suicide rather than face public humiliation.
But yeah, GM crops are a boon to humanity............only if your a misanthrope.
