What effects do genetically modified (GM) products have on
the environment?

Answer Posted / shimbhu

GM products, and GM plants in particular, will have a
positive impact on the environment by reducing agricultural
chemical use and by promoting good agricultural practices
such as no-till agriculture.


These crops could effect the environment through
1) transfer of the GM traits to other plants
2) harm to non-target species
3) increased resistance to commonly used insecticides and
herbicides.
