GMO - Genetically Modified Organism
Fewer inputs (like water or pesticides
needed to grow food, on less land than ever before. Drought resistant GMO crops and Bt crops (which allow farmers to use fewer to no pesticides) are two examples of how GE technology can be used by farmers to farm.
Crops that are genetically engineered to fight diseases are saving not only the foods we love, but the industries that grow them. Genetic engineering was used to save the Hawaiian Rainbow papaya from a deadly virus which threatened to wipe out the crop, and the industry. Today, the Florida citrus industry faces the same threat, and GMOs may be able to help.
