GMO VS. HUNGARIAN FUNDAMENTAL ACT

Abstract

Research and development was always a part of history: new results appear after long research and experiment.
The history of science – especially of real sciences – is full with unsuccessful experiments that we would like to forget or regard them as secrets. GMO technologies appeared forst om the 1980s and nowdays they are used all over the world, experiments are made with them. The Hungarian Fundamental Act declares a GMO free agriculture. In this study I examine the question how the GMO free issue got into the Fundamental Act, what it really means in practice, what kind of consequences it has or it may have.
