Genetically engineered crops may be doing more than boosting harvests: new 40-year study finds they could help US farms withstand climate change

New research suggests genetically engineered crops help US agriculture adapt. Widespread adoption of these crops is linked to higher and more stable yields. Corn and soybean varieties showed the clearest benefits from this genetic modification. GE crop use also appears to dampen climate-driven shifts in farming geography. This technology offers a potential tool for farmers facing unpredictable weather conditions.
