Filipino Farmer Roman Bernal

Approximately one-third of Filipino farmers rely on corn production as their major source of income. The average net income for Filipino farmers who planted genetically modified organism (GMO) corn increased 34 percent in 2003. Roman and Adelaida Bernal share how plant biotechnology in the Philippines has improved their family's quality of life through less intense labor practices, increased yields and reduced pesticide applications.

Research Norman Borlaug. Food distribution problems is often caused by government rather than nature, but higher yield crops doesn't hurt. And the barrier between natural and 'artificial' is a, well, a bit of an artificial construct.  Genetic modification is really just sped up breeding. Corn doesn't look the same.

They do allow more food to be grown where it is needed allowing more countries to grow enough food to feed their own populations. This does, in a sense, address food redistribution.
