    Genetically Modified (GM) refers to organisms (plants, animals, or microorganisms) whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These modifications introduce new traits or enhance existing ones that cannot be achieved through traditional breeding methods. Key Features of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Methods of Modification Gene Insertion: Introducing specific genes from other organisms to impart desired traits, such as pest resistance.

    Genetically Modified Organisms

    Impact on the economy

    Reporter: JESSEL HERRERA BACTONG


    Objectives

    * To identify the impact of genetically modified


    organism in the economy

    To Identify the Economic benefits in Specific sector of


    GMO

    * To determine the Ecnomic benefits and economic risk


    of GMOs on the impact to the economy
    According to the world health
    organization ,-"Genetically modified (GM) food
    are foods derived from organism whos genetic
    material (DNA) has been modified in a way Does
    not occur naturally ,I,e, through the introduction
    of a gene from a different organization.
    - Reduced Production Costs:
    Farmers experience lower expenses for pest
    control and herbicide applications, leading to
    increased profitability

    - Increased Crop Yields:


    GMOs can enhance crop yields, boosting
    agricultural output and contributing to food
    security
    - Improved Resource Utilization: GMOs can
    enhance resource utilization by reducing
    water and land requirements for crop
    production

    - Enhanced Environmental Sustainability:


    Reduced pesticide use can lead to
    environmental benefits like reduced soil
    and water contamination
    *Economic benefits in specific sectors:*

    1. *Agriculture*: GMOs can increase crop


    yields, reduce pesticide use, and improve
    drought tolerance.
    2. *Pharmaceuticals*: GMOs can produce
    medicinal products, such as insulin and
    vaccines

    .
    3. *Food industry*: GMOs can improve
    food quality, shelf life, and nutritional
    content.
    *Negative impacts:

    1. *Patenting and ownership


    : Biotech companies can patent GMOs, limiting access
    to genetic resources and creating monopolies.

    2. *Dependence on multinational corporations*:


    Small farmers may become dependent on
    multinational corporations for GMO seeds, leading to
    loss of autonomy.
    *Contamination of non-GMO crops*: GMOs can
    contaminate non-GMO crops, affecting their market
    value.

    4. *Regulatory costs*: Implementing and enforcing


    GMO regulations can be costly.

    5. *Public perception and market rejection*: Negative


    public perception can lead to market rejection,
    affecting exports and economic losses.
    GMOs have had a profound impact on
    the global economy, offering potential
    benefits in terms of agricultural productivity,
    food security, and economic development.
    However, concerns about market
    concentration, inequality, and unforeseen
    consequences necessitate careful
    consideration and regulation.
