a glimpse of the discussions taking place among farmers on the impact of
genetically modified crops a decade since they were first introduced and
after more than one billion acres of these crops have been harvested
worldwide. These farmers discuss
the benefits that biotech crops have had on their farms, families,
communities and the environment. In 2004,
growers in 18 countries planted 200 million acres (81 million hectares) of
biotechnology crops, an increase of 20 percent over 2003 .
