Describe how genetic engineering can assist farmers in meeting the world's food demands.
The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food production is associated with a number of social and ethical issues.Â
State three social and/or ethical implications of using GMOs in food production.Â
In March 2023 England passed the Genetic Technology Act into law. This means that food products with altered genes can be developed commercially.
Labelling of gene-altered food is not a requirement and there is concern that genetically modified food may enter other parts of the UK, such as Wales and Scotland.
Suggest why a lack of clear labelling is an ethical concern for some people.
