Productivity of GMOs

Agricultural Productivity

·         Better stress resistance in plants that allow the GMO to resist not only pests, but require less water in dry environments, and be able to withstand lower temperature in cold environments

Environmental Benefits

·         More food with less land used, higher crop production

·         Less pesticides covering the crops and being absorbed by the soil and farmer spreading the chemicals

·         Also, certain GMOs will be able to give nutrients to the soil rather than take them, allowing for rehabilitation of the soil

·         Bioremediation where organisms will be able to repair and rebuild damaged and nutrient deficient soil

·         Longer shelf life of foods

·         Biofuels to use plant matter and biomass to produce energy

Human Health

·         Being able to identify allergenic genes that cause the reactions that result in fatalities such as anaphylaxis and removing them, producing safer foods such as nuts
