    This document discusses differences in regulations of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) between the US and Europe. It first defines GMOs and then outlines how the US has fewer restrictions by approving GMOs for human consumption and cultivation more quickly than Europe. Europe has opted for the precautionary principle in its regulations by requiring safety assessments and allowing countries to restrict or ban GMOs they feel pose risks to human health or the environment. The document references several sources that analyze reasons for the divergent regulatory approaches between the US and Europe on this issue.
