Affordability.

Thirdly, there is a risk with genetically modified foods that can be ignored now, but it may majorly affect us in the future. Although marketing modified food may well raise concerns in first world countries, but it could be a different case in third world countries. Bringing genetically modified goods to the table can be a costly process and overtime, as the modifying technologies progress, it will become harder to afford “thus widening the gap between the wealthy and the poor” (Whitman, 2000). Whilst the prices for modified seeds increase, the organic seeds will probably still be affordable for farmers in some depleted countries.
