Since 1987, the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that GE crops pose no new risks compared to conventional breeding. Judge James Donato's decision rejects this consensus, favoring excessive, anti-science regulations that obstruct progress in food security and

Technologies like gene-editing enable highly precise, targeted modifications to DNA, ensuring both accuracy and precision in achieving desired traits with minimal unintended effects.
