The subject of the article is to answer whether GMOs are a chance for food security or a threat to sustainable development? If we arrive at conclusion that genetically modified organism is the threat to sustainable development, it will not be recognized as a part of green economy. EU and USA law on GMO serves as a base for reflections. The article is divided into two parts: general and specific. The first part presents the definition of sustainable development, food security and genetically modified organisms. The second part describes precautionary principle and principle of equality which determined EU and USA law on GMO.
