ABSTRACT
Genetic engineering is often associated with modern agriculture and food
production. However, beside its actual (and eventual) benefits, we should notice
dangers connected with it. Food and food production is the base of existence and
functioning of every human community. Instruments and methods used by a man to
sustain his/her existence are the decisive factors for environmental conditions, which
in turn decide about the access of products and ecological services. As a result, the
existence of human depends on this access. The wise use of it assures the development
whereas the lack of caution and controlling actions may cause serious economic and
ecological consequences.
