Now that the alarm has been raised, scientists and concerned citizens have begun to look for solutions. GMO crops, while still a controversial subject in many circles today, may be able to provide the global population with some relief in the case of a global food crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As leading <a href=\"https:\/\/msfagriculture.com\/about\/\">experts in the agricultural business<\/a> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acreage loans<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we hear discussions around these topics a lot.

So in some sense, they can be said to have played an integral role in the precariously overpopulated position that we find ourselves in today. That said, GMO crops may <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be able to provide an instrumental role in helping to feed a starving population if a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/msfagriculture.com\/2019\/12\/11\/what-will-happen-if-the-food-crisis-gets-worse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">widespread food crisis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were to occur today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though many experts argue that the potential value of GMO crops during a food crisis is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archives.cjr.org\/the_observatory\/can_gm_crops_solve_the_food_cr.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overblown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the fact remains that GMOs have the potential to produce more abundant, drought-resistant, and vitamin-rich crops. Each of these factors could potentially tip the scales in humanity\u2019s favor if we were to encounter a serious global food shortage today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Shop for Acreage Loans Now!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for a way to finance changes to your farming operation?
