Influence of transgenics on ecosystems

Transgenic plants are a type of GMO

whose genetic material has been
altered using genetic engineering
techniques.
What are the risks?

There are consequences of

the interactions between
transgenic plants and their
natural environment
Influence of transgenics on ecosystems

Pollens of canola and maize are

transported by wind and insects over long
distances

The mechanisms of risk

Human dependence on machines would mean

Conclusion

It is complicated to anticipate the consequences of the advances

of science, but we have seen that they have a clear potential to
cause major disasters because these advances are imposed at
great speed, leaving society with no time to react.

Security is practically non-existent in this area, as we continue to

postpone innate problems to science.
