Potential bans or reductions to one or more of these technologies threatens to undermine the climate mitigation successes achieved to date.Innovation is the keySince 1960, food production has increased by 390% while land use has increased by a mere 10%. One estimate of the impact that GM crops have had on land use undertaken in 2010 found that without GM crops, an additional 13 million hectares of land would have been globally required to produce the amount of food that was available.
