What are the risks associated with the use of transgenic organisms?
Risks to the environment
Socioeconomic risks
Health risks
The risks to the environment include the loss of biodiversity and the transfer of genetic material to non-transgenic populations.
Socioeconomic risks include the control of transgenic organisms by large corporations and the dependence of farmers on these corporations.
Health risks associated with transgenic organisms are not greater than those associated with traditional foods.
