The Pros and Cons of Gene Editing
Gene-edited food is a topic of an ongoing debate and controversy. There are concerns about its safety, environmental impact, and ethical implications. The EU went so far as to effectively ban the practice a few years ago. Some argue that gene editing could exacerbate existing inequalities in the food system by giving larger businesses an unfair advantage over small-scale farmers. Despite these concerns, some experts argue that gene-edited food has the potential to play a key role in sustainable agriculture.
