•Increasing production yields, thereby reducing pressures to force more land, often marginal and highly erodible land, into production;
• Using biotech herbicide tolerant crops that allow the use of no-till farming practices, enhancing soil moisture content, reducing erosion and limiting carbon dioxide emissions;
• Using biotech crops that need fewer applications of pesticides, and that thrive in a no-till environment, greatly reducing on-farm energy consumption and associated environmental impacts; and
• Reducing waste production from livestock feedlots and concentrated animal agriculture operations via biotechnology-improved feed products and biotech nutritional supplements for livestock.
