  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

Large countries like China need GMOs to keep up with their rapidly growing population.

The correct answer is 'True'.


    • According to new estimates, smallholder farmers in poor countries are driving a steady increase in the global production of genetically modified (GM) crops, leading to major economic and environmental improvements.
    • There have been major environmental and economic advantages to the widespread cultivation of biotech crops.
    • GM crops alone cut carbon emissions by the same amount as removing 16.75 million cars off the road in 2016 alone.
    • Since 1996, the environmental impact connected with the use of insecticides and herbicides has decreased by 18.4 percent thanks to biotech crops that have assisted farmers in lowering their usage of these items or applying them more strategically.
