In a report entitled "Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects," experts from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine again advocated the safety and efficacy of genetically engineered crops for federal legislators and regulators.
The report focuses on the safety and nutritional value of
crops that have been genetically engineered. It also highlights societal and
economics benefit of these crops, providing a basis to open conversation on the
technology.
Genetically engineered crops have had both positive and
negative claims and research promoting benefits or perceived risks. This has
created a confused landscape in the public and for policy makers. In the
report, experts examine many of the questions and opinions about the crops as
it relates to agronomic, health, safety and other effects.
The examination is independent and objective. It delivers a wealth
of knowledge on the subject of genetically engineered crops.
