Is the use of transgenic plants sustainable?
Yes, the use of transgenic plants can be sustainable if proper guidelines on their use are followed. It is important to consider the different elements of the environment where these plants will be planted. For example, to minimize the early onset of resistance of pests to transgenic plants, it is important to form an effective resistance management program that should be properly followed by farmers. This principle applies not only for transgenic plants but also for plant varieties developed through traditional breeding methods.
