Assignment
Although some insects are beneficial, others can vector diseases and destroy crops. As the climate changes and the world population continues to grow, there is an increasing need to protect people and crops from insect pests. Historically, pests have been controlled with insecticides and biological controls. Unfortunately, insecticides are not target specific and they also harm important pollinators. In addition, over time pests are able to develop resistance to insecticides, rendering them useless. Given these difficulties, it has been proposed that genetic modification be used to control insect pests.
