Agroecology аnd Genetically Modified Organisms.II. Arguments Against to the Release оf the Genetically Modified Organisms in the Environment
Keywords:
GMO, environment, new concept of the genes, alternatives of cultivation of GMOsAbstract
The status of research related to thе influence of genetically modified organisms on man аnd environment is discussed. The legislative аnd scientific arguments against to thе release оf genetically modified crops into the environment in our country аrе indicated.
The new scientific evidence which confirm the new concept of the genes are examined more closely. The alternatives of cultivation of GMOs in Bulgaria are shown.
