Over the last

20 YEARS, GMOs

HAVE: 37%

REDUCED PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS

Herbicide-tolerant GM crops enable farmers to till — or turn over and break up the soil — less often. This has increased

nutrient-rich organic matter up to 1,800 pounds per acre per year.3

In the last 150 years, half of the planet’s topsoil has been lost, largely as the result of erosion. Erosion clogs streams and rivers, hurting fish and other species, and can worsen flooding.5

GMOs are part of sustainable farming that preserves topsoil, preventing erosion and desertification.6
