Genetic modification (GM) crops have become a significant part of modern agriculture. Here's an overview of the regulations surrounding GM crops.

Overview of GM Crops Regulations

• Safety Assessment: GM crops must undergo rigorous safety assessments to ensure they do not pose a risk to human health or the environment.
• Labeling: GM crops are often labeled to inform consumers of their genetic modification.
• Import and Export: Regulations vary by country, but most require GM crops to be approved for import and export.

Key Regulations
