Description: 

Genetically engineered (GE) foods apply new molecular technologies to Widely adopted in the United States, Brazil, and Argentina for the p corn, soybeans, and cotton, they are practically banned in Europe and tigh throughout the world. We have found that GE foods have significantly incr of corn, soybean, and cotton, and lowered their prices, thus improving food foods have already contributed to a reduction in the use of pesticides and

greenhouse gases. We show that expanded adoption of GE foods can further security and adaptation to climate change. Sound redesign of regulation investment in GE varieties and help to allow development of new traits that improve human welfare.
