    GMOs threaten biodiversity and genetic pollution by spreading modified genes worldwide. GM crops dominate farmland through monocultures that eliminate other crops and habitats, reducing flavors and food security. Pests develop resistance to engineered crops over time, requiring increased pesticide use. Crops made to produce insecticides are also toxic to beneficial insects like pollinators. GMOs undermine small farmers who have traditionally improved seeds, as GM seeds require costly new purchases each season from multinational corporations. While genetic modification could spread extinct species, nature protects ancient organisms that have changed little over billions of years. The risks of GMOs to sustainability, food quality, and the environment require a ban on releases until safety can be established.

    GMOs for commercial applications

    Genetic engineering produces genes and genetic materials that threaten to pollute
    existing genetic pools worldwide. It's started. If an organism has received a foreign gene-now a
    GMO (genetically modified organism) it has become a permanent source of genetic infection
    and pollution and GMO refers to any living organism that has changed its DNA using genetic
    modification. It may be a plant, animal, including humans, or a bacterium that is commonly used
    to implement genetic engineering. desirable trait to the organism, such as increased fruit or
    tolerance to drought.

    At first, when I heard GMOs the first thing that came in my mind is that it is not organic
    therefore it unhealthy therefore, I’m not in favor of GMOs because first, about our Biodiversity
    Where they are cultivated, GM crops dominate broad surface areas and are connected to
    intense monoculture systems that wipe out other crops and habitats. Growing only one form of
    corn for human consumption would mean a reduction in flavors, conventional awareness, and
    food security.

    Second, they said that GMOs fever chemicals but There is no permanent protection in
    species, for both the host and the pathogen. Pests – from viruses to bacteria, insects to
    nematodes – establish biological specialization, which ensures that tolerance can be
    established in the genes of these pests through continuous mutation. On the part of the host
    plant or animal, there is something called the genetic decline" and there are also affected. GM
    crops fall into one of two categories: either engineered to tolerate chemical herbicides or
    engineered to produce insecticides themselves. When herbicides are used in resistant crops,
    weeds develop resistance over time leading to the use of even more pesticides. Crops bred to
    manufacture insecticides, on the other hand, produce toxins that are not only toxic to pests but
    also other insects such as butterflies, moths, and insect pollinators.

    Third, Threat to Small-Scale Farmer's GM crops denounces the position of farmers who
    have always improved and picked their seeds. GM seeds are held by multinationals to whom
    the farmer must switch every new season because, like all commercial hybrids, GMOs of the
    second generation do not yield good results. Farmers are also prohibited from attempting to
    develop the variety without paying expensive royalties.

    They said that GMOs can Conservation With genetic modification, we could be able to
    spread extinct species beyond their natural environment and even awaken the sleeping genius
    in the DNA of long-lost species but Nature has a way of protecting ancient creatures. Blue-
    green algae like Spirulina are three billion years old and have been largely unchanged.

    Lastly, increased allergenic tendencies, toxicity, or altered nutritional value may occur in
    GMOs. They may also show mutations, which are errors that may exist in the sequence or
    reading of DNA within a cell. Altering regulatory functions can lead to the development of new
    components or modification of existing components of an organism. The risks of GMOs to
    sustainability, food quality, human and animal welfare and the need for a ban on releases to the
    ecosystem in compliance with the precautionary principle and GE is not the safest way to
    increase food production. It does not increase yields; it endangers the environment, and it does
    not alleviate suffering in developing nations.
