Environmental Policies And Agreements Questions
The role of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture is to enhance crop productivity, improve resistance to pests and diseases, and increase tolerance to environmental conditions such as drought or extreme temperatures. GMOs are created by altering the genetic material of plants or animals to introduce specific traits or characteristics that are desired for agricultural purposes. This technology has the potential to address food security challenges, reduce the use of pesticides, and increase crop yields. However, GMOs also raise concerns regarding their potential impact on human health, biodiversity, and the environment, leading to ongoing debates and regulations surrounding their use.
