Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Australia already allows the commercial growing of genetically engineered canola and cotton, making us one of only a handful of countries that commercially grow GE crops. GE canola was commercially released in NSW and Victoria in 2008.

Yes. Most foods are already genetically engineered, for example the carrot, typically orange, was actually originally purple. GMOs are the future, and while organic is a cool buzzword, it's never going to be as sustainable as GMOs, especially when it comes to plants.

No im now gluten intolerant because of genetically engineering food. They don’t know the damage it can do to a person internally.

Yes, only with extensive research on the potential environmental impacts of altering the genes of crops eg. super weeds
@8TK8FQQ4yrs4Y
Yes if risks of cross crop contamination is eliminated
Yes, but producers shall not be allowed to patent seeds AND foods that are genetically modified must be labelled
@8RKKPZP4yrs4Y
Yes, but greater regulation is required
@8WXSCXZLiberal Democrat4yrs4Y
Yes, but the government should incentivise business's not to create them.
