Only a few commercial versions of corn, cotton and soybeans have reached the market with two main characteristics: being resistant to herbicides and toxic to some insects. A panel of independent experts led by Fred Gould, an entomologist at North Carolina State University, supervised the analysis of 900 scientific studies on the impact of this type of crop. These are the main consequences of it.

Human health effects

According to a note issued by the Academy, the committee has analyzed all the available studies and has not found any proof that the health of the population is harmed by the use of genetically modified organisms.

There is no difference in health between consuming a non-GMO plant and consuming a genetically modified one.

There is evidence that Genetically modified organisms have a benefit for human health by decreasing pesticide poisoning. The work also highlights that there are transgenic variants that can have an overwhelming impact on global health and cites the case of golden rice, a modified variant to contain high levels of beta carotene and which continues to go by the wayside despite being able to avoid millions of cases of blindness and infant deaths due to malnutrition in developing countries.

The impact on the environment.

The report says that the use of transgenics does not reduce the plant or insect diversity in the fields where they are planted.

The work shows that the genes of transgenics end up in fields that are not, but that they have not caused any harm to the environment. The study acknowledges that it can be difficult to reach definitive conclusions.

There are effects on agriculture.

The only aspect where the Academy can detect worrying impacts and further questions its supposed benefits is in this area. There are insects that are evolving resistance to pesticides.

In places where management rules are not followed, resistances can appear. The work confirms that there are weeds that have developed resistance toGlyphosate.

There is a version of the benefits of these products for farmers that the report gives.

He acknowledges that the economic benefits have been brought about by Genetically modified organisms. Small-scale farmers were able to benefit from these types of crops during the early years of adoption. To maintain those profits, producers need to receive support from institutions, access to credit, and access to local and global markets.

Yeah, you can do that in SFM. Right click on the models roottransform, and look for an option that says "add transform scaler" or something like that. Click that, and it'll add a slider that allows you to change the size of the model, bigger or smaller. Thank you! 05-Jan-2014
