The environmental impact of biotech crops has been immense. Farmers have reduced the amount of herbicides and pesticides used while producing higher yields on less land. Topsoil erosion has decreased due to the introduction of reduced-tillage and no-tillage techniques, processes now practicable due to biotech crops. In 2006, no-till farming led to global reduction of 14.76 billion kg of carbon dioxide, an amount equivalent to removing over 6 million cars from the road for one year. Review the attached documents to learn more about the many other environmental benefits of biotechnology that are helping to save our earth.
