This site is dedicated to presenting the facts and research behind GMOs, agriculture and biotechnology. We work with appropriate experts, scientists and academia to get answers and information to any and all questions submitted to the website.

GMO Answers was created to do a better job answering your questions — no matter what they are — about GMOs. The biotech industry stands 100 percent behind the health and safety of the GM crops on the market today, but we acknowledge that we haven’t done the best job communicating about them – including what they are, how they are made, what the safety data says. As a result, this website is the beginning of a new conversation among everyone who cares about how our food is grown.

GMO Answers is funded by The Council for Biotechnology Information, which includes BASF, Bayer, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont, Monsanto Company and Syngenta. Our members are dedicated to the responsible development and application of plant biotechnology.

Members and partners of GMO Answers commit to five core principles:

1. Respecting people around the world and their right to choose healthy food products that are best for themselves and their families;
2. Welcoming and answering questions on all GMO topics;
3. Making GMO information, research and data easy to access and evaluate and support safety testing of GM products;  including allowing independent safety testing of our products through validated science-based methods;
4. 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;
5. 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.
