Abstract
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or genetically modified technology is currently considered an “excluded method” not allowed to be used in, or added to, organic agricultural products under the US Code of Federal Regulations. Despite evidence that GMOs may serve as a safe alternative to conventional crops, they are frequently associated with harmful and unsustainable agricultural practices. We discuss the economic, environmental, nutritional, and food safety concerns of GMOs in organic agriculture, and how GMO technology could benefit it. We propose (1) allowing the use of genetic modification in organic agriculture and (2) an enhanced effort to disseminate science-based information to consumers.
