BIOTECHNOLOGY-IMPROVED CROPS ARE RAISING FARM INCOMES, INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY AND DELIVERING IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS Between 1996-2011 49%
In 2011 alone Worldwide income increased by
Equalling an average gain of
$19.8B
$133
$98.2B $43.4B

INCREASED FARM INCOMES INCREASED YIELD
Between 1996 and 2011, crop biotechnology was responsible for an additional:
15.9M
metric tons of cotton lint
195M
metric tons of corn
TO MAINTAIN CURRENT YIELDS WITHOUT THESE BIOTECH CROPS WOULD REQUIRE 15.3 MILLION IL IN MORE HECTARES OF LAND - AN AREA LARGER THAN THE TOTAL FARM LAND PLANTED TO PRINCIPAL CROPS IN THE STATES OF INDIANA AND ILLINOIS IN 2011.1
110.2M
metric tons of soybeans
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
REDUCED PESTICIDE USE
}
Between 1996 and 2011, biotechnology reduced the amount of pesticide used by 474 million kilograms
Leading to an
18.1% reduction2 in the environmental impact of insecticides
and herbicides
Biotech crops require less fuel and less tillage. In 2011, this reduced CO2 emissions by 23 billion kilograms Equal to taking 10.2 million cars off the road for one year
