Round up ready crops AG

• recombinant dna→   Genetically engineered to resist glyphosate herbicide, allowing for more effective weed control.
• Social/Ethical: Increases efficiency for farmers but raises concerns about herbicide overuse and long-term soil health.

  Economic: Boosts productivity, but reliance on specific herbicides benefits large biotech firms over independent farmers.
• Positives: Reduces need for tilling, improving soil conservation.

  Negatives: Overuse of herbicides can harm non-target plant species and lead to herbicide-resistant weeds.
