  1. Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops 2010 Clive James, Chair, ISAAA Randy A. Hautea, Global Coordinator, ISAAA and Director, ISAAA SEAsiaCenter Public Forum on Science Communication, April 6, 2011, Biopolis, Singapore

  2. About Us International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications Mission Help increase crop productivity and income generation, and bring about a safer environment and more sustainable agricultural development. Major Programs Facilitate sharing of information and experiences on crop biotechnology through a global network; Transfer and deliver appropriate biotechnology applications to developing countries Information Experiences Knowledge SHARING… Capacities Resources Technologies

  3. The Global Challenge Producing More with Less in A Sustainable Way Double food production on same/less land area, water, nutrients, energy by 2050 Increasing world population 6.5B to 8B by 2025 and 9.2B by 2050 Decreasing cultivable land per capita0.45 ha. in 1966 to 0.15 ha. in 2050 Lower growth in grain yieldsLess than 1.0 % per annum in 1990s Malnutrition/Poverty ~ 1billion people malnourished or hungry >1 billion afflicted by poverty Climate changeLimited water availability New pests and diseases

  5. Global Society’s Questions re: GM/Biotech Crops • Can biotech crops produce more affordable food, feed and fiber, and are they safe? • Can biotech crops contribute to sustainability? • Can biotech crops help with climate change mitigation and adaptation? • Can biotech crops contribute to foodsecurity and to the alleviation of poverty and hunger?

  11. SUMMARY– 2010 HIGHLIGHTS • 1 billionth hectare planted in 2010 – about same area as USA or China • Increase from 25 to 29 countries: Pakistan, Myanmar and Sweden, and Germany resumed planting • Strong 10% growth = 14 M ha = 2nd largest gain ever • 87-fold increase from 1996 to 2010 - fastest adopted crop technology • Top ten countries each >1 M ha, 8 are developing • 15.4 M biotech farmers, up 1.4 M – 90% or 14.4 million were small and resource-poor farmers • Stacked traits – 11 countries, 32 M ha (22%) Source: Clive James, 2011

  12. IMPACT OF GM/BIOTECH CROPS

  13. GLOBAL IMPACT of BIOTECH CROPS Source: Brookes and Barfoot forthcoming, and Clive James, 2011 • IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY AND INCOME • – Farm income gains $65 B from 1996 to 2009 • 44% due to cost reduction • 56% due to a production gain of 229 M tons - conservative estimate (spill-over from biotech to conventional) • PROTECTS BIODIVERSITY • – Double crop production on same area of 1.5 B hectares of crop land • – Save forests/land/biodiversity – 229 M tons would have required additional 75 M ha of land to till • – Enhanced farm ecology

  14. GLOBAL IMPACT of BIOTECH CROPS Source: Brookes and Barfoot forthcoming, and Clive James, 2011 • ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT • – Reduce need for external inputs • – Savings of 393 M kg pesticides from 1996/2009 = 9% saved • –Saved 18 B kg CO2 in 2009 – contribution to climate change, removing 8 M cars off the road • –Conservation of soil & water through biotech + no low till • SOCIAL BENEFITS • –Contribution to poverty alleviation of 14.4 M small resource-poor farmers in 2010 & welfare benefits emerging.

  16. THE FUTURE 2011 - 2015, THE REMANING FIVE YEARS OF THE SECOND DECADE OF COMMERCIALIZATION 2015, The Millennium Development Goals Year

  17. TheFuture – 2011-15 • Key Requirements for Success • POLITICAL WILL • ACCESS TO NEW & IMPROVED BIOTECH CROPS • APPROPRIATE AND EFFICIENT REGULATION IN DEV. COUNTRIES Source: Clive James, 2011

  18. The Future –2011-2015. A WAVE OF NEW & IMPROVED BIOTECH CROPS • Many new crop/trait options will be ready before 2015 • Drought tolerance – principal trait–maize in US 2012 • Biotech rice – major crop, up to 1 billion beneficiaries • Quality traits –Golden Rice in 2013, omega-3, others • More biotech crops developed by countries from the South in public inst. – more South-South cooperation • Biotech applications for “Speeding the breeding”–MAS and biotech crops, to provide a faster response to more severe and rapid changes in climate change • Asia will grow more in 2nd decade than first decade Source: Clive James, 2011
