    Study Notes

    Genetic Modification and Sustainability

    • A potential environmental concern associated with GMOs is the unintended transfer of transgenic traits to wild relatives or non-target species.

    Benefits of GMOs

    • A common benefit of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is increased crop yields, which can help address global food demand and alleviate hunger.
    • GMOs contribute to food security by providing a more reliable source of nutrition, particularly in areas where crops are susceptible to disease or pests.

    Economic Advantages

    • A potential economic advantage of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is reduced pesticide and herbicide use, resulting in cost savings for farmers and a more sustainable agricultural practice.

    Sustainable Agriculture

    • Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) contribute to sustainable agriculture by allowing farmers to grow crops that are more resilient to environmental stresses, reducing the need for resource-intensive farming practices.
