    This document discusses transgenic foods and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It addresses several claims about GMOs, providing context and responses. It notes that while GMO foods can increase harvests by shortening growth duration, the use of herbicides with GM crops has both increased and decreased depending on the specific crop. It also states that the number of hectares cultivated with GM seeds has grown due to increased social acceptance and short-term benefits. Finally, it acknowledges that while GMOs are prohibited in some European countries due to perceived harm, there is no scientific evidence to support these concerns.

    INTRODUCTION

    GMO foods are those that have been


    produced from a genetically
    engineered organism and into which
    genes from another organism have
    been incorporated to produce the
    desired characteristics.
    However, over time, several health
    consequences have been seen
    “The use of GM
    crops has increased
    the use of herbicides
    ”Is it true or false?

    • Itis true and a lie since in


    certain crops it has
    increased and in others it
    has decreased, depending
    on the type of modification
    that the GM crop has.
    “GMOs have
    not increased
    harvests "
    Yes, because the growth duration
    has been shortened, which allows
    producing more in less time
    In the last 10 or 15 years,
    has the number of
    hectares cultivated with
    GM seeds increased or
    decreased?

    • It has grown, because social


    acceptance has been achieved in
    addition to the short-term
    benefits that can be obtained
    from crops of this type
    “GMOs are not
    used in Europe
    ”

    • Importing how to grow in some


    countries in Europe is prohibited,
    because it is believed to be
    harmful, although it does not
    have scientific evidence of this
    Conclusion
