Introduction: Agricultural genetically modified agricultural products have been on the market all over Guangdong Province, but at the same time, there are also a lot of fake products In order to protect the rights and health of consumers, the Department of agriculture of Guangdong Province recently requested that the agricultural law enforcement departments of all over Guangdong Province start to supervise the safety of domestic and imported genetically modified products from the second half of this year, and all violators will be investigated and punished At present, genetically modified agricultural products are controversial in the world According to statistics, by the beginning of 2001, China had accepted more than 400 safety assessments of genetically modified organisms and approved 333 items, but only 40 of them were cotton and tomato Although in March this year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the measures for the management of agricultural genetically modified organisms (GMOs) identification, which requires all GMOs to have clear identification, in fact, the provisions are virtually empty and few people abide by them In order to change this situation, the Department of agriculture of Guangdong Province recently held a two-day agricultural genetically modified organisms safety management course, which trained more than 200 agricultural and animal husbandry cadres from all cities in the province, with the purpose of reserving management talents for the implementation of relevant regulations in the second half of the year XTS
