least greatly reduce hunger and malnutrition through greater yields and sturdier crops.

They could have as yet unknown effects on human health by causing unexpected allergic reactions and transferring antibiotic resistance markers. A potentially more serious criticism is that it leads to the exploitation of developing countries: many
