concerns?
Students are tasked to make a position paper about an article whichtackles GMO. The aim of this paper is to know whether they consider GMO asnecessary, safe and good for the environment.
Guide Questions:1. Do we need GMO foods?2. Are genetically modified foods safe?3. Are genetically modified foods good or bad for the environment?
