GM - Genetically Modified food
What is genetically modified food?
It is food containing ingredients that come from genetically modified crops. That means,
scientists transfer genes from another plant or animal to the species that they want to modify.
Genetic modification intends to increase the resistance of plants against insect, fungal, and
viral pests. One of the main goals is to reduce the need for pesticides.
The benefits are uncertain. Defenders of GM say that it improves crop characteristics (yield,
pest resistance, herbicide tolerance) and reduces prices.
The risks are not well-defined. People do not know for sure the long-term effects of GM on
human health and on the environment. There is also the possibility of increasing control of
agriculture by biotechnology corporations.
The Food and Agriculture Organization – FAO – states that we have to use GM as a tool to
combat hunger and malnutrition. The FAO also defends the need to take precautions to protect
human health and the environment.
