What are the concerns regarding the application of modern biotechnology to agriculture, feed and food?
The applications of biotechnology (and especially of genetic engineering) in agriculture, food and feed are often said to carry short-term and long-term risks or uncertainties for the environment. Some of these may be regarded as unpredictable and irreversible and as by some people as such unacceptable. Other considerations relate to the possible effects of GM food and feed on human and animal health. Some socio-economic effects are also a matter of concern.
