Environmental Impact: Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may have unintended ecological effects, such as cross-pollination with wild relatives, disruption of natural ecosystems, or harm to non-target organisms.
Human Health Concerns: GMOs may raise concerns about allergenicity, toxicity, or long-term effects on human health. Proper assessment and testing are necessary to ensure the safety of genetically modified food products.
Ethical and Socioeconomic Issues: The use of biotechnology in agriculture raises ethical questions related to the ownership and control of genetic resources, patenting of living organisms, and potential impacts on small farmers and traditional agricultural practices.
