The Genetic Literacy Project (GLP) has refuted allegations of being a corporate front, asserting its status as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It published its Integrity Policies covering privacy and fact-checking standards. In 2023, the U.S. led globally with 74.4 million hectares of genetically modified crops.
