Instructor: Course Title: Date: Negative Effects of Genetically Modified Food/Crops Genetically modified organisms refer to organisms whose genetic components have been changed to produce an unnatural occurrence. Genetic engineering refers to the technology employed in the alteration of the genetic elements‚ which also facilitates the transfer of genes between related and non-related species. This technology is applied in the production of Genetically Modified (GM) crops/foods in order to meet the desired

GMO stands for genetically modified organism. The term is generally used for food that has had its genes changed using biotechnology. Using genetic modification‚ scientists are able to produce new varieties of plants with certain qualities‚ such as being more resistant to viruses or pesticides. Are GMOs good or bad for us? I thinks GMOs good us and maybe people thinks GMOs bad because that pointed out that transferring a gene from an allergenic food crop‚ such as peanuts‚ could make the GMO food

Crop losses from insect pest result devastating financial loss for farmers and starvation in developing countries. To solve this problem farmers have to use tons of chemical pesticides every year. Consumers do not want to eat food that has pesticide on it because it can be very harmful to our body. Plus using pesticide can cause environmental pollution. So growing gmo that does not demands pesticide can eliminate the use of chemical substance Plus gmo plants genetically made to be resistant to weed-killer

Do transgenic crops (Genetically Modified) pose an unacceptable threat to the environment and the maintenance of biodiversity or are they a necessary response to meeting the twin challenges of climate change and sustainability? The population of the world is predicted to reach 19.9 billion by 2025 (United Nations Population Information Network‚ 2011). According to Purchase (2005)‚ this increase in population will bring along with it the problem of food security. The priority for the world

does a tomato‚ soybean‚ and McDonald’s French fry have in common? They are all some of the most commonly genetically modified foods sold on the market today. By using the genetic information from one organism‚ and inserting or modifying it into another organism‚ scientists can make food crops stay fresher‚ grow bigger‚ and have the crops create their own pesticides. Nevertheless‚ the technology to modify genes has surpassed its practicality. Genetically modified foods need to be removed from everyday

shortages‚ they have no negative health effects‚ and they help the environment. In developing countries‚ destroyed crops can increase starvation and poverty. Yet with the aid of GMOs crops can be made more weather resistant. Meaning they can handle extreme cold and hot temperatures. GMOs can also be made to last longer. For example recently a tomato has been created which it can last up to forty-five days without expiring. Drum wheat is commonly used in cereals‚ but during the growing process salt builds

But for what? Public and environmental safety has always been a major concern for them‚ yet‚ after continuous testing by the FDA‚ USDA‚ and EPA‚ these hypothetical problems have been proven to be just that‚ hypothetical. Another question presented by these anti-GMO activists is‚ “What’s in it for
