RE: WTF is a GMO?

in #science7 years ago

Isn't biodiversity also a common problem with GMOs? I'm not that into the subject so maybe you can shed some light on it. As far as I understood the GMO crops perform better and flourish, which causes us to rely on a small number of species. This is dangerous because if that species becomes unavailable due to climate change/disease etc. then food shortages are a likely outcome.

Sort:  

We already rely on only a handful of species without GMOs. Bananas and potatoes fell victim to this in the past. GM-crops have a higher chance to survive such devastating events.

Makes sense, thanks for the insight!
