The Nexus Between CO2 Emissions and Genetically Modified Crops: a Perspective from Order Theory

Proposed solutions to anthropogenic climate change: A systematic literature review and a new way forward

“…This concept refers to the engineering and release of synthetic microbial organisms that can reduce greenhouse gases and help improve carbon sequestration [ 303 , 304 ]. Examples of biotechnology include using enzymes and micro-organisms to make bio-based products (e.g., in food, chemicals, bioenergy), genetically modified crops, soil carbon sequestration, and reduced fertilizer use [ 10 , 60 , 305 ]. For example, a shift from chemical fertilizers and pesticides to biofertilizers and biopesticides is theorized to decrease GHG emissions and pollution [ 249 ].…”

“…This research, however, falls short of suggesting a switch to a plant-based diet as researchers deem it unacceptable to the general public [ 284 ]. Instead, scholars suggest a combination of waste reduction [ 282 ], less meat/dairy in the average diet [ 192 , 284 , 321 , 339 , 344 , 345 ], technological improvements [ 331 , 346 ], genetically-modified crops [ 305 ], climate-smart agriculture [ [347] , [348] , [349] , [350] ], and increased production efficiency as a way to achieve the required reduction in food GHG emissions [ 192 , 323 , 330 , 341 ].…”

Climate change and agriculture in Burkina Faso

“…These include some controversial ones such as the use of genetically modified crops (GMCs). Indeed, Quintero and Cohen (2019) highlight that BF is one of countries that "could be the best contributors to the mitigation of the climate change by the reduction of their CO 2 emission levels through GMCs" (p. 641). Furthermore, intensification (in crop production, animal production and mixed crop-livestock systems) is presented as one of the strategies to combine food security and climate change (Zabel et al, 2019).…”
