Background on the Environmental Impacts of GMOs
Negative impacts on the environment from GMOs are a big concern for scientists and the public. Negative effects on the environment include increased use of herbicides and pollution of aquatic ecosystems. These fundamental issues will comprise the focus of this paper. Given the negative impacts and the need for GMOs for food production, the only way to cope with this dichotomy is to decrease the environmental impact without eliminating modified crops. Preventing these impacts is improbable, but reduction of long term damage to affected ecosystems is plausible and should be attended to by conservationists and genetic engineers collaboratively. There is no one solution to the problem, but there are several practical strategies to limit environmental damage due to GMOs.
