supporters of biotechnology believe that genetic engineered food ensures and sustains food security around the world as the population increases‚ but on the other hand‚ there are many concerns involved with genetically modified food. In fact‚ a lot of food that we eat on a daily basis contains genetically modified ingredients and usually without our knowledge. Yet‚ is genetic engineered food safe? Moreover‚ do we really need genetic modified food? Many researchers do not consider biotechnology the solution

tomatoes‚ called Perfect Potatoes and Tender Tomatoes‚ created by Teri Robertson‚ put Gene One on the map with the biotechnology industry. Pesticides were no longer needed for potatoes and tomatoes‚ and took Gene One from a $2 million dollar startup company to a $400 million dollar corporation. This breakthrough technology not only brought Gene One to the attention of the biotechnology field but sparked the interested of Wall Street. The aspiration of Wall Street

this event ignited research into the idea‚ which has led to the multiple developments in gene therapy still being refined today. Around the same time‚ biotechnology also emerged as a new and ingenious tool in field of biology which only furthered the potential abilities of gene therapy. Current research surrounding these fields combines biotechnology with gene therapy in utilizing viral vectors to incorporate targeted changes to DNA inside mutated or diseased cells. This method is hoped to eventually
