Abstract
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have become increasingly prevalent in our
global market, specifically in the United States, since they were first introduced in the
1990s. While genetic modification (GM) technology has the potential to increase shelf
life, add nutritional value, and improve yield, it may also have negative effects on our
environment or health. The key arguments amongst GMO debates include environmental
protection and sustainability, as well as legislation and consumer understanding.
While the US is an avid supporter of genetic engineering and is home to more genetically
modified crops than anywhere else in the world, the European Union (EU) falls on the
other end of the spectrum. This educational essay examines the different ways these two
regions have been impacted as a result of their varying agriculture systems.
