Question

Give two examples of how genetically modified organisms lead to more enviormentally friendly agricultural practices

Answer 1

Bt-Cotton lessens the use of synthetic pesticides

Answer 2

There are a bunch actually, Agricultural plants are one of the most frequently cited examples of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world's growing population. Advances have also been made in developing crops that mature faster and tolerate aluminum, boron, salt, drought, frost, and other environmental stressors, allowing plants to grow in conditions where they might not otherwise flourish. Other applications include the production of nonprotein (bioplastic) or nonindustrial (ornamental plant) products. A number of animals have also been genetically engineered to increase yield and decrease susceptibility to disease. For example, salmon have been engineered to grow larger and mature faster, and cattle have been enhanced to exhibit resistance to mad cow disease

Answer 3

Pest resistant crops like Bt-Cotton is an example for ENVRNMNTLLY FRIENDLY agricultural practices
