What we know about #GMO:

 What we know about GM:

- Farmers who cultivated gM varieties earned less money over a 14-year period than those who continued to grow non GM crops according to a study from the University of Minnesota.

- traditional plant breeding and farming methods have increased yields of major grain crops three to four times more than gM varieties despite huge investments of public and private dollars in biotech research. 

- there are 197 species of herbicide resistant weeds, many of which can be linked directly back to gM crops, and the list keeps growing.

- gM crops have led to an explosion in herbicide-use as resistant crops continue to emerge. In particular, the EPA approved a 20-fold increase in how much glyphosate (Roundup®) residue is allowed in our food in response to escalating concentrations.
