Environment Week

From June 2 to 8 is Environment week in Canada, farmers are doing great jobs for protecting environment. One way that helps them protect the environment is plant biotech crops. Biotech  crops have higher yields than normal crops. They also protect natual habitats and wildlife living within the same area.

the other benefit of  growing biotech crops is protect their crops from weeds. For example, biotechnology introduced the ability for certain crops to tolerate herbicides. In this way, farmers can control weeds without harming  their plants. If farmers grow biotech crops, they do not have to plow the  land to control weeks The benefits for environment include enriching the soil, reducing erosion and contributing to fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Some farmers may have concerns about the safety to use biotechnology because it is a confusing term. It may include genetic modification or genetic engineering. Government stated that all products of plant biotechnology are federally regulated to ensure they are safe for the environment and for livestock animal feed use. Canada has been assessing biotech crops for more than two decades and the results are good for the environment. Keep using biotechnology is good for the environment and human.Better envirnment will give people better lives.
