GMOs are bad for your body, bad for the community, bad for farmers and bad for the environment. This is why: 1  The health consequences of eating genetically modified organisms are largely unknown. 2  Genetically engineered foods have not been shown to be safe to eat and may have unpredictable consequences. Biotech firms sell sterile seeds to African farmers-meaning the seeds are only good for one season, because the plants that grow up will not be able to reproduce. 2  Farmers must buy new seeds every year instead of growing from the previous yearâs yield. 3  GMOs are not the farmersâ friend.
Kevin Rogers, Arizona farmer. Sustainability is a word not often associated with GMOs in popular press, but farmers who grow GMO crops see them as a tool for sustainable farming. According to Rogers, if it were not for GMO technology, the cotton industry in Arizona would not be thriving or sustainable.onsumers should be aware that GMOs have been tested for safety, and a recent review of 1,783 high-quality research studies concluded that they are safe. While that's reassuring, there still remains uncertainty over why GMOs are used in the first place, and how they might impact our environment.
