SUMMARY
The discussion on genetically modified (GM) crops highlights both their advantages and disadvantages. Positive effects include increased yield, pest resistance, and reduced need for chemical pesticides, which can enhance food security. Conversely, negative effects encompass potential environmental impacts, loss of biodiversity, and health concerns associated with long-term consumption. The debate remains polarized, with strong opinions on both sides regarding the safety and ethics of GM technology.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of genetic engineering principles
- Familiarity with agricultural biotechnology
- Knowledge of environmental science concepts
- Awareness of food safety regulations
- Research the impact of GM crops on biodiversity
- Explore the regulatory frameworks governing GM food safety
- Investigate consumer perceptions of GM foods
- Learn about alternative agricultural practices, such as organic farming
Agricultural scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and consumers interested in food safety and sustainability will benefit from this discussion.
