Genetically modified food is based on using biotechnology to manipulate the food’s genetic code. GMO‚ which refers to ‘Genetically Modified Organisms’‚ are considered to be an innovation since it is way much faster to produce food‚ using GMO‚ and thus it may be the big solution for World Hunger. But are them safe for us? Do they present harm for the environment? GMO are very criticized. Despite the benefits of GMO‚ there are many opposing views.

A stronger argument is that of how the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are affecting the environment through natural transgenic methods such as cross-pollination. With more research and cautious testing genetically engineered produce could launch us into a new age of prosperity. Many wonder where this world of

GMO – Pros and Cons! To begin with‚ science and technology have changed our world dramatically‚ and‚ for the most part‚ we take them in our stride. Genetic engineering is a relatively new technology riddled with questions and the arguments for and against are difficult to weight because it’s hard to know the risks until something goes wrong. My own believe is that genetic engineering is the inevitable wave of the future and that we can not afford to ignore a technology that has such enormous

Today‚ with the emergence of genetically modified organisms (GMO) as food‚ another issue regarding labeling to champion consumer choice between GM and non-GM foods has been raised. But experiences of countries that adopted mandatory GMO labeling proved that it doesn’t provide the consumer with a wider array of choice. This brings us to the more compelling issues on nutrition and food safety that will
