Genetically modified food or crops are plants that have been modified using genetic engineering techniques. Examples of GMOs include adding genes to certain crops to make them immune to insects or environmental conditions. Proponents of a GMO ban argue that their existence might have unintended effects on agricultural ecosystems including bees and other animals which depend on native crops for their survival. Opponents of a ban argue that the development GMOs has resulted in cheaper food being produced more quickly, in greater quantities, and with less calories and fat.
@9K69C722mos2MO
no i dont support this as GMO crops and foods have MRNa and turbo cancers that are desinged specifically for population redution
Only for cisgenic breeding or those which could have been accomplished through conventional methods.
@9H76M6G5mos5MO
In terms of helping people who struggle with the intake of certain foods and vitamins and stuff, yes. Both be nice to nature and don't replace everything
@9BZBGT911mos11MO
Yes but only where organic alternatives (such as meat) cannot be produced at a sustainable level. In this case labelling of these foods needs to be mandated, as well as a limit to the additives etc being included in the product.
@989GK7F1yr1Y
No but we need to support our farmers more
@978QXVS1yr1Y
Yes but the process should be regulated to prevent invasive species.
No and countries that do allow their use should label and create a body to prevent big gmo makers from suing small farmers who had seed blown into their property
@8Z3K9682yrs2Y
If it’s not bad for the environment or health then sure why not
Yes, but never as a complete replacement for organic, only with full labeling transparency, and no patents on seeds.
@8XSVGX7Social Democrats2yrs2Y
Yes, but there should be a limit on patents and a very pragmatic approach to how seeds are used.
No. Pay our farmers more so they can make a living and provide for our small country. Make horticulture a main subject in school so more people can become self sufficient.
No, we are unaware of possible dangerous side effects.
@8QMLLJZ3yrs3Y
GMOs should be heavily regulated so that it can not harm the ecosystem
@8CWNV9J4yrs4Y
Yes, but only in arid land where disease and pests such as locusts decimate crops
@9C56XKQ11mos11MO
@93TGP8Q2yrs2Y
Yes, but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified AND producers should not be able to patent seeds. We may need GMO with climate change. Still, non-GMO is better.
@93FJZV72yrs2Y
Yes, in moderation and where crop yields are threatened by climate change, but ban patenting of seeds and require labeling

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified
