What did Forest GUMP say? Stupid is as stupid does. Seems fitting. It's easy to be bias when the truth is on your side. <br /><br />The one exception would be soybeans. Now that Round up resistant weeds are becoming more common, old school chemistries are being used to control resistant weeds. Those systems used more gallons of product per acre and required multiple application for effective control. Wait, that's not a GMO's fault, but does prove GMOs reduced the amount of herbicides used by farmers. You need to think in terms of product per area covered to understand the environmental impact of GMOs. <br /><br />Another factor that is increasing the amount of pesticides applied by farmers in the increase in organic farming. Many organic pesticides are less effective and require many applications. "Commercial Organic farming" is brining up the pounds of pesticides per acre average for all farmers. That not necessarily the case for all organic farmers, but it's the case for very large organic farmers.

Europe and Canada are totally different climates, so comparing the rate of yield increase between different continents is useless. Herbicide use in Europe is declining because farm ground is being paved over for city expansion. In contrast, high commodity prices in early 2008-2010 enticed farmers to convert farm pasture ground (cattle country) to tillable farm grounds. This caused an increase of 10's of millions of acres. So yes, the amount of pesticides applied by farmers has increased. Also, new pesticides, like Fungicides and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonicotinoid, increased the amount of pesticides farmers apply to crops. However, neither of these factors have anything to do with the introduction of GMOs. <br /><br />The fact remains, that GMO have reduced the amount of herbicides, and insecticides, farmers have to apply per acre. Also, GMOs are safer for the environment because those internal insecticides (and bug resistant traits) won't contaminate rivers, streams and lakes after a rain event. This bias article has skewed basic facts to make a predetermined point of view. That's why I quit reading the article 1/4 of the way in. You get what you pay for, and in this instance: Garbage in= Garbage out.
