PPFS-MISC-7: Genetically Engineered Crops: A Review of Concerns and Benefits
Authored by: Paul Vincelli
Abstract
Genetically engineered crops are plants that have had their genetic material (DNA) purposefully manipulated in the laboratory to produce a particular beneficial outcome. These types of crops are often called genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Commercial genetically engineered crops are designed to have limited and precise genetic changes that provide one or more benefits to humans or the environment.
