After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology"--Publisher. 650 0 $a Transgenic plants $x History. 650 0 $a Transgenic plants $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Transgenic plants $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a Transgenic plants $x Safety measures. 650 0 $a Crops $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Crops $x Environmental aspects. $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Crops $x Health aspects. $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a Crops $x Safety measures. $x Safety measures. 650 7 $a Crops $x Genetic engineering. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00884007 650 7 $a Transgenic plants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01154677 710 2 $a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.). $b Committee on Genetically Engineered Crops: Past Experience and Future Prospects. 856 $u https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23395/genetically-engineered-crops-experiences-and-prospects $z An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706020432.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170302010036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F691539EF5A711E6B45EFBACDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
