Transgenic Crops: Implications for Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture
The potential for genetically modified (GM) crops to threaten biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture is substantial. Megadiverse countries and centers of origin and/or diversity of crop species are particularly vulnerable regions. The future of sustainable agriculture may be irreversibly jeopardized by contamination of in situ preserved genetic resources threatening a strategic r...
متن کاملAmelioration of biodiversity impacts of genetically modified crops: predicting transient versus long-term effects.
It has been suggested that genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops may benefit biodiversity because spraying of crops may be delayed until later in the growing season, allowing weeds to grow during the early part of the year. This provides an enhanced resource for arthropods, and potentially benefits birds that feed on these. Thus, this technology could enhance biodiversity. Using a revie...
متن کاملHealth Positive Uses of Genetically Modified Food Crops as a Source of
Molecular farming, or bio-pharming, has recently received much of attention for production of valuable recombinant proteins, with a few already being marketed. The use of whole plants for synthesis of pharmaceutical proteins offers various advantages in economy, scalability and safety over conventional production systems. GM plants are suitable for the inexpensive production of large amounts of...

متن کاملRisk Perceptions of Urban Italian and United States Consumers for Genetically Modified Foods
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are defined as plant and animal products produced using scientific techniques that involve taking the genes from one plant or animal species and inserting them in another species to transfer a desired trait or characteristic. For agricultural producers, GM crops have led to reduced production costs, enhanced yields, and the potential for increased profits. ...
