Moreover, the GMO classification has encouraged unscientific regulatory approaches that are not commensurate with the level of risk, and that, by discriminating against modern molecular genetic-engineering techniques, inhibit agricultural innovation that could reduce strain on the natural environment and enhance global food security. Even as study after study – both formal risk assessments and “real-world” observations – has confirmed the technology’s safety, the regulatory burden placed on GMOs has continued to grow.
此外，给转基因分类还鼓励了不科学的监管方针——既不能让监管和风险水平相协调，还会因为歧视现代转基因技术而阻碍可以减轻自然环境负担、提高全球粮食安全的农业创新。即使各种研究——从正规风险评估到“真实世界”观察——都确认转基因技术是安全的，GMO所承受的监管负担仍在不断增长。
