I don't really agree with GM food but the term is a bit misleading as most foods we now eat have been "genetically engineered" eg. Broccoli didn't used to exist. Genetics are important in feeding the world. But I do think producers should not be able to patent seeds and there should be labelling. Crops should only be grown in enclosed places so as not to contaminate nearby other crops.

People have got to eat. I don't believe the genetically modified foods has as much nutrition value

 @8Z55C7SLiberalanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but require the proper labelling informing that they are modified and have undergone testing that they are safe to consume

 @8XL2M9QOne Nationanswered…2yrs2Y

over 90% of all crops and even some animals are genetically modified, so this is a stupid question for ignorant people.

 @8WKGHY8answered…2yrs2Y

Producers should not be able to patent seeds and require to label the genetically modified foods

 @8VQPVZ3Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8TLHQKVGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, only with extensive research on the potential environmental impacts of altering the genes of crops eg. super weeds

 @8NX7LXPanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but not for food crops until further research has been done on the potential risks associated

 @9CN2PRTanswered…8mos8MO

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.

 @99HLVFDGreenanswered…1yr1Y

No, but i don't think that it would be feasible to provide for our population without it.

 @98WZG7LLaboranswered…1yr1Y

Yes, because most vegetables today have already been genetically modifed over the years, however their should be clear regulations around what genetic modifications can be done and how it is tested for short term and long term safety

 @HippopiJanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only after rigorous testing to ensure environmental safety and regulated for human consumption.

 @9353BBFanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes; where safe and environmentally friendly to do so, the use of, labelled, genetically engineered crops and foods should be permitted.

 @92XSQTLGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes as long as they are modified to be 100% safe and it is labelled so customers are aware of risks

 @92F7GSZanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but in general food warnings/labels and government checks on compliance need to be increased

 @8TCB5WTPirateanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but producers shall not be allowed to patent seeds AND foods that are genetically modified must be labelled

 @8QWKK2Janswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but must be incredibly regulated and health checked but I would prefer non modified food.

 @8PD787Janswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, particularly if they have reduced environmental impacts, less resource intensive and have higher yields

 @8M853JBanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but heavy regulations including labelling and the inability to patent the seeds

 @8D2H6GManswered…4yrs4Y

 @8WXSCXZLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the government should incentivise business's not to create them.

 @8GKH5Z2answered…3yrs3Y

No, but we should invest significantly more in research about genetically engineered foods and crops.

 @8ZHYK8NLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but have more labelling and regulation and funding to make sure environmental and impact to humans are known

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If you had the power to decide, would you ban or endorse the cultivation of genetically modified crops in your community?
