Concerns about the environmental impact, potential health risks, and ethical considerations have sparked debates. Some argue that rigorous testing and regulatory oversight are necessary to ensure the safety of GMOs for both humans and the ecosystem. Proponents emphasize the potential benefits, including increased crop yields, reduced reliance on chemical inputs, and the ability to combat hunger and malnutrition on a global scale. As discussions around GMOs continue, finding a balance between innovation and responsible use remains a crucial aspect of shaping the future of agriculture.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Fact Sheets” icon_color=”#F15625″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#F15625″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n These fact sheets from CSU Extension provide information on GMOs and Bt Corn:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Resources” icon_color=”#F15625″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#F15625″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Check out these resources to read more about GMOs:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”exposure” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”2px||2px|||” border_color_top=”#F15625″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_color_all=”#cecece” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/agsci.colostate.edu\/agbio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/127\/2024\/02\/CO-PC-Help-trans-2.png” alt=”Colorado Poison Center; 1-800-222-1222″ title_text=”CO PC Help trans 2″ align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”25%||5%||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” border_color_top=”#F15625″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5%||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\t\t [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_text_color=”#1E4D2B” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” positioning=”relative” width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”3%||1px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0.3%||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” header_2_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_3_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_4_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_5_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_6_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_3_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_4_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_5_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_6_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_6_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”24px” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_text_color=”#1E4D2B” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” positioning=”relative” width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”3%||||false|false” custom_padding=”||3%||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” header_2_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_3_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_4_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_5_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_6_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_3_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_4_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_5_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_6_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_6_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n Time is critical with any pesticide poisoning!
