Question

We need genetically modified crops to feed the world's growing population

Answer 1

This claim has zero backing other than the link provided. the claim states that "We need genetically modified crops to feed the world's growing population." In the article they provided it says that "No scientist claims that GMOs by themselves can ‘feed the world’. GMOs have been shown to increase crop yields over both conventional and organic agriculture and use less synthetic chemical inputs than non-GMO conventional farming." Yes, this is true, GMOs can be of great use to help the already rapidly growing population. The only problem with it right now is that some people think GMOs are bad for you, and that you should not eat them. With the population always at a growth, finding new ways to get the foods we normally eat and help save some resources while growing these crops.
