against GM crops Genetically modified organisms are organisms in which DNA has been changed in a way that does not occur naturally. It is often called genetic engineering‚ and it also allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another. Such methods are used to create/grow GM crops. However the use of GM crops has been very controversial; in the UK an argument has been out forward that growing these GM crops will cause more harm to the environment than growing ordinary

Should we‚ as a society use GMOs? Global food production faces many challenges such as climate change‚ exponential population growth‚ and the struggle to find arable lands. Societies have always produced GMOs (genetically modified organisms) to increase the occurrence of desired traits with methods such as selection‚ cross-pollination‚ and hybridization. However‚ the new technology‚ genetic engineering‚ the process of rearranging genes is saturating the GMO conversation. Still‚ the genetic engineering

No to GMO Genetically modified foods are foods or plants that have been modified by researchers and scientists to improve the growth and development process. This idea was first introduced in 1982 and now has become widespread in use‚ especially in the US. This technology is sometimes referred to as “gene technology” or “genetic engineering” (WHO). All genetically modified foods are produced in a laboratory to “enhance its biological feature” (Godiff). This is not healthy. GM foods have the potential
