Without GM
crops European agriculture will not achieve sustainability goals.

Animals have
become seriously ill or died from GM foods.

Genetically
Modified Foods Offer Numerous Benefits.

GM plants
could contribute to an agriculture that is both profitable and advantageous
for the environment in Switzerland.

An
unexpected poison in a GM food supplement killed 37 persons. The poison was
not discovered because careful search for unexpected harmful substances was
not made.

Top
researchers confirm that the results of genetic engineering are
unpredictable. This is why unexpected harmful substances may appear in GM

Facts

|
Supporters
of this technology maintain that it ensures and sustains food security around
the world as the population increases.
|
A lot of
food that we eat today contains genetically modified ingredients and usually
without our knowledge.
|
For
thousands of years, farmers have improved their crops by crossbreeding plants
that have good traits.
|
|
Genetic
engineering can be done with plants, animals, or microorganisms.
Historically, farmers bred plants and animals for thousands of years to
produce the desired traits.
|
The problem
of food shortages is a political and economic problem.
|
Scientists
can take a gene from one living thing and put it directly into another plant
or animal.
|
|
Genetic
engineering allows scientists to speed this process up by moving desired genes
from one plant into another or even from an animal to a plant or vice versa.
|
GM Food is
an expensive technology that the farmers of the developing nations would not
be able to afford easily.
|
Scientists
say the new techniques have created crops that are pest-proof, disease
resistant and more nutritious.
