Supporters of genetically engineered foods often claim that bio-crops are the only way to feed the world's booming population in the future.
However, a study from the Union of Concerned Scientists shows that genetically engineered crops have not been proven to produce larger harvests. Crop yield increases in recent years have almost entirely been due to improved farming or traditional plant breeding, despite thousands of field trials of GM crops.

Seeds purchased from companies like Monsanto are also engineered with "terminator technology", which means plants produce sterile seeds after only one season. Farmers, already in debt because of the high price of "superior" GM seeds, are thereby forced to buy more seeds for the next harvest.
