24 Aug 2011“Biotechnology has helped me produce more corn more consistently,” said Nebraska farmer Brandon Hunnicutt.
“It has helped me become a better farmer, a more efficient farmer, and I believe that is why we’ve seen biotech crops adopted at such a rapid rate, not only here in the United States, but in a couple dozen countries around the world.”
In 2010, just 15 years after the first biotech crops were commercialized, farmers in 29 countries planted and produced biotech crops on 148 million hectares (366 million acres), according to a report published earlier this year by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA).
