Bullwinkle,
A few studies for you to digest.

Some reasons why GMO's are needed.
What is the current environmental situation?
A growing population, global warming, and loss of biodiversity have a tremendous impact on our environment.
By year 2050, there will be 9.3 billion people living on this planet. This means that in less than 50 years, world population is expected to increase by 3 billion. Feeding these people will mean massive changes in the production, distribution, and stability of food products.
Unfortunately, cropland and population are not uniformly distributed. For example, China has only 1.4% of the world’s productive land1 but 20-25% of the world’s population. This situation is further aggravated by diminishing cropland due to erosion, fewer renewable resources, less water, and a reduced population working the land.
