- Overall, the review finds that currently commercialized GM crops have reduced the impacts of agriculture on biodiversity, through enhanced adoption of conservation tillage practices, reduction of insecticide use and use of more environmentally benign herbicides and increasing yields to alleviate pressure to convert additional land into agricultural use.

Apr 13, 2021 · It was already in place by the time GMO crops came on the scene. The practice of "monocropping" — cultivating a single crop, year after year, on the same land — might seem efficient, but it ultimately decreases both biodiversity and soil health.

Aug 10, 2015 · When GM plants are in close proximity with wild plants, they can cross-pollinate, producing a hybrid version of the two. Typically, natural hybridization has a positive impact on genetic diversity because it introduces new gene combinations into a population.

Dec 1, 2020 · Policies and ethics. Despite a consolidated increase in their employment, herbicide-tolerant (HT) and insect-resistant (IR) GM varieties have commonly been suspected to represent a threat to biodiversity. In this chapter, we analyze the major concerns related to the potential persistence...

Dec 1, 2020 · The GM plants can affect the biodiversity at the crop, farm and landscape scales (Carpenter 2011) (see below). In summary, the main risks to biodiversity associated with GM plants are: (1) changes in the structure of genetic diversity, (2) intensification of farming, (3) increased pressure on biodiversity, (4) increase in herbicide use, (5 ...
