GMOs

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.
