More informed customers, because they need to make more informed decisions in regard to nutrition, agriculture and science.

Less pesticides are needed to be used due to insect pest resistant plants.

More economically friendly as pesticides do not go into the air, soil, and water (especially freshwater supplies). Their production hazards to the environment also decreases.

Decrease in costs of growing and farming, due to the reduced use of pesticides.

Higher crop yields.

Farmers have more income, which they could spend on such things as, for example, the education of their children.

Less deforestation needed to feed the worlds growing population (UN projections say that the worldpopulation will reach 8.15 billion compared to 6.18 billion in year 2000). This decreases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which in turn slows global warming.

Decrease in food prices due to lower costs and higher yield. As people in poor countries spend over half of their income on food alone, lower food prices mean an automatic reduction of poverty.

Less starvation in the world due to decreased food prices.

More nutricious. This is proven and tested many times.

Rigorous testing of ALL GMO crops and products. This makes GMOs much more safer than organic (the traditional) crops.

ALL GMOs that are sold in the market, due to the strict tests. If the slightest chance of health hazard, a GMO is NOT allowed to enter the markets.

Strict and very complect standards that GMOs have to full meet.

More thoroughly understood crops due to the regorous testing.

Scientific development of agriculture, health and related sciences due to the better understanding of the products. For example, the development of new medicines.

Creation of “superfoods” due to better knowledge. Superfoods are types of food that are cheap to produce, grow fast in large quantities, highly nutritious.

New products. For examples, scientist identified the gene responsible for caffeine in coffee beans; by excluding this gene, decaffianated coffee beans can be grown naturally.

Reduction of sicknesses and illnesses, as GMO crops are more nutritious. Vitamins and minerals can be provided to children and to people, where they were inaccessible before (ie.: the world’s poorest and/or most secluded areas).

Development of new kinds of crops that can be grown at extreme climates, for example, dry or freezing environments (like deserts). For example, scientist developed a type of tomato that grows in salty soil.

Reduction of world starvation.

As more crops (plants) can be grown and at more places, this decreases global warming through the increase of oxygen in the environment, decreasing the proportion of carbon dioxide. Two British economists note in a study that GM crops have also made significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 10 million tonnes.This is equivalent to removing five million cars from the road every year. In effect this means that people would have to choose between growing GMOs or giving up their vehicles.

Many Nobel Prize winners and prominent scientists support genetically modified crop research and production.

Beside humans, livestocks and animals are also beneficiaries to the higher nutritious value of GMO crops. They have an increased resistance, productivity, and hardiness.

Enhancement of the quality of food.

Enhancement of the taste of food.

Enhancement of the smell of food.

Enhancement of the size of foood.

With time, possible customisation of food to meet personal preferences.

Decrease of maturation time of the plants, so they can be harvested sooner and moore often during the year.

Higher resistance to deseases.

Less processing needed in factories.

Less factory additives needed.

GMO crops last longer. This decreases the amount of wasted crops and foods.

Reduced energy needs to produce GMO crops.

Less labor requeirements.

Less machinery requirements.

Production of friendly bioherbicides and bioinsecticides through genetic engineering.

genetically modified foods and crops are recognized by experts and regulatory authorities worldwide as being as safe as crops and foods.

Experts estimate more than 1 trillion meals containing ingredients from biotech crops have been consumed over the last decade with no reliable documentation of any food safety issues for people or animals.

People who are opposed to GMOs are not the farmers themselves, but people who can afford to buy food.

The needs of some consumers for GMO-free products leads to non-GMO labeling issues.
