[Title] => Bt corn gives farmers more income — study
[Summary] => Much more income can be derived from planting genetically modified crops, among them Bt corn, than common varieties, a new publication reported.
In one hectare, a farmer earned an average net income of P21,599, or almost double the P11,467 realized by another who planted non-Bt corn.
The profit advantage easily offset the high cost of seeds, which was P4,177 per bag, as against the P2,130 per bag of non-Bt corn seeds.

[Title] => Does biotechnology meet the needs of poor farmers?
[Summary] => The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) recently released its annual publication "The Sate of Food and Agriculture 2003-2004" with the theme "Agricultural Biotechnology: Meeting the Needs of the Poor". The report claims that biotechnology is capable of benefiting small, resource-poor farmers, yet also cautions, "Given that technologies that are on the shelf today (generated by conventional research methods) have not yet reached the poorest farmers’ fields, there is no guarantee that the new biotechnologies will fare any better."
