A new meta-analysis of GM crop research finds huge on-farm gains: Pesticide use reduced 37%, crop yields increased by 22%, and farmer profits boosted by 68%. All of those gains are larger in developing countries than rich ones. The gains are larger for insect-resistant GM crops (like Bt crops) than for herbicide resistant crops (like Roundup-ready).
