Billions of acres of genetically modified crops can't be wrong, right?

It’s springtime in South America and just last week, somewhere on that green continent, a farmer planted the world’s 3 billionth acre of Genetically Modified (GM) crops, signaling another milestone in biotechnology’s steady ascent toward conventionality.  This is celebrated news for biotech companies like Monsanto, but it’s been received as a gloomy portent by farmers who’ve invested big in the promises of GM crops only to discover the harsh truth about Big Ag’s zero-sum game.

The biotech-friendly group Truth about Trade & Technology (TTT) provided the 3 billion acre figure in a news release last Friday. For years, the American-based non-profit organization has kept track of biotech-crop acreage by compiling official data from governments across the world.

“How big is 3 billion acres? It’s bigger than the Amazon rainforest. It’s bigger than all of Brazil. It’s big enough to say with absolute certainty that biotechnology is now a thoroughly conventional variety of agriculture,” says TTT.
