Herbicide Resistant Rice
What is this about?
This fictional and educational case describes the use and impact of herbicide resistant rice, a type of rice genetically modified to resist weeds.
Why is this important?
Using herbicide resistant rice may seem beneficial at first but it is important to consider the consequences of the use of it. In this case six questions are posed which can be used to analyse the (bio)ethics and use of herbicide resistant crops.
