What is Environmental Risks of GMOs about?
This document summarizes environmental concerns about GMO crops, focusing on increased use of toxic herbicides and pesticides, unforeseen consequences from gene editing (pleiotropy), and contamination. It notes that most GMO crops are engineered for herbicide resistance, which leads to increased chemical use and residues. Gene editing through techniques like CRISPR can have unintended effects, as genes interact in complex ways. GMO crops can also cross-pollinate with and contaminate non-GMO plants.
