Biotechnology is changing the way we solve big problems in the world, like making sure everyone has enough food and fighting diseases.
One example is CRISPR gene editing. This technology helps scientists make changes to crops, which can help them grow better.
For instance, genetically modified (GM) crops can grow up to 30% more food. This is really important because about 690 million people around the world are hungry.
But there are some worries about using GMOs. Many people are concerned about how they might affect nature and our health. In fact, a survey showed that 70% of people are anxious about the effects of GMOs on our bodies and the environment.
To make sure we use these new technologies safely, we need strong rules. These rules should help keep everyone safe and make sure things are clear and open.
We also need to talk to the public more and teach people about the good things and the risks of biotechnology.
