Abstract
The research and developmentResearch and Development of any “new” agricultural crop created using genetic modification technologies, even if undertaken with the best of intentions, is accompanied by novel human health, environmental, social, economic and other risksRisks. To date, much of the research that has accompanied the release of genetically modified Genetically Modified crops has focused on the environmental and health impacts. Evidence has been inconclusive, however, with debates remaining highly divided and contested, and each “camp” presenting evidence to support its position.
