In an analysis of scientific investigation stretching over two decades, researchers at two Italian universities compiled data on genetically modified corn, soybeans, canola and cotton. This week, they released a report comparing yield, crop quality, target and non-target organisms, and biomass decomposition with non-GMO crops of the same type.

 

The meta-analysis was based on 72 studies from six continents, and over 11,000 field observations. The results produced distinct improvement in several categories.

 

Between 1996 and 2016 yield was improved by 24.5 percent while mycotoxin concentrations declined by one-third. The crop with the largest potential benefit was GMO corn, which represents only 30 percent of the global corn crop.
