A clear vision for the future of the world's food supply must be developed by all stakeholders, including consumers, farmers, and governments, especially in light of the rapid improvements in the production of genetically modified crops. It has been possible through biotechnology and genetic engineering, genetically modified (GM) crops have been engineered to have certain qualities, such as resistance to pests, illnesses, or herbicides. Concerns about risks and unintended effects of GM crops include ecosystem impacts, new pests or diseases, and health effects on humans and animals. There is mounting evidence that consumers may respond unfavourably to the introduction of genetically altered foods. This research focuses at how genetic engineering can raise agricultural yields, improve nutrient content, and lessen the use for hazardous pesticides and herbicides in food production. Regulatory framework for GM foods may impact on perception and acceptance of consumers.
所有利益相关者,包括消费者、农民和政府,都必须为世界粮食供应的未来制定清晰的愿景,特别是考虑到转基因作物生产的迅速进步。通过生物技术和基因工程已成为可能,转基因作物被设计具有某些特性,如抗虫害、抗病或抗除草剂。对转基因作物风险和意外影响的担忧包括对生态系统的影响、新的害虫或疾病以及对人类和动物的健康影响。越来越多的证据表明,消费者可能对引入转基因食品做出不利反应。本研究关注基因工程如何提高农业产量、改善营养成分以及减少食品生产中有害农药和除草剂的使用。转基因食品的监管框架可能会影响消费者的认知和接受度。
