GMO Myth #6 “Organics are safer than GMOs“.

Myth: Organics are safer than GMOs. Reality: Organic farming is a cultivation method, and GMOs are a breeding method, so it’s like comparing apples and oranges. Additionally, organic growers are allowed to use certain types of pesticides, so some GMOs could claim to be safer than organics. An example might be a GM blight-resistant potato, which does not need toxic substances like copper sulfate or other fungicides often used to control blight in organic farming. Ideally, genetic modification would be used to improve organic farming. #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #nutrition #geneticallyModified #crops #plants #foods #Proteins #pesticide #geneticallyModifiedFoodsAndTheirProsAndCons #geneticallyModifiedFoods #GMO #geneticallyModifiedFood #gmos #gmoFoods #gmoFood #unhealthyFoods #geneticallyModifiedOrganism #PlantGenetics #plantBreeding #breeding #monsanto #hybridSeeds #GeneticallyModifiedOrganismFilmSubject #GeneticallyModiefiedOrganism #geneticallyEngineeredOrganism #transgenicOrganism
