Effects of biotechnology on corn yields estimated to be 17% after allowing for confounding factors
Jason Lusk and colleagues on biotechnology and corn crop yield:
Concern about declining growth in crop yields has renewed debates about the ability of biotechnology to promote food security. While numerous experimental and farm-level studies have found that adoption of genetically engineered crops has been associated with yield gains, aggregate and cross-country comparisons often seem to show little effect, raising questions about the size and generalizability of the effect.
