  • Description

    GMO Answers was created to do a better job answering questions about GMOs. The initiative’s goal is to make information about GMOs in food and agriculture easier to access and understand. The members and partners of GMO Answers commit to five core principles:

    • Respecting people around the world and their right to choose healthy food products that are best for themselves and their families;
    • Welcoming and answering questions on all GMO topics;
    • Making GMO information, research and data easy to access and evaluate and supporting safety testing of GM products; including allowing independent safety testing of our products through validated science-based methods;
    • Supporting farmers as they work to grow crops using precious resources more efficiently, with less impact on the environment and producing safe, nutritious food and feed products;
    • Respecting farmers’ rights to choose the seeds that are best for their farms, businesses and communities and providing seed choices that include non-GM seeds based on market demands.

    The independent experts who answer consumer questions are not paid by GMO Answers to answer questions. Experts donate their time to answer questions in their area of expertise for the website. As of 2020, GMO Answers is a program of CropLife International.
