How can agricultural biotechnology have a positive impact on the environment?

• By developing crops that are pest resistant requiring fewer pesticides to be used. 

• planting crops in shaded areas.

• Harvesting crops that have thick stems and leaves.

• water crops with a recycled irrigation system.

How can using genetically engineered crops impact North Carolina’s economy?

• Improve quality of farm equipment.

• Decreased availability of productive land.

• Decreased food production and more debt for farmers.

• Increased food production and income for the farmers.

Rice does not provide enough of certain vitamins. How could biotechnology be used to change this?

• Using a high nitrogen fertilzer.

• Using herbicide to get rid of weeds.

• Genetic modification of rice plants that are pest resistant and to produce vitamins they cannot make without biotechnology

• Using pesticide to get rid of pests that can harm the crop.
