Itâs not on the 80k list of âother global issuesâ, and doesnât come up on a quick search of Google or this forum, so Iâd guess not. One reason might be that the scale isnât large enoughâit seems much harder to get existential risk from GMOs than from, say, engineered pandemics.
Some of the agricultural catastrophes that the solutions that the Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED) are working on address include super crop disease, bacterium that out competes beneficial bacteria, and super crop pest (animal), all of which could be related to genetic modification.

Yeah, Iâd expect it to be a global catastrophic risk rather than existential risk.
