16 October 2012 Evolution of Genetically Modified Crops The evolution of Genetically Modified crops (GM) has‚ for the first time in history‚ presented us with a solution to the problem of global hunger. The world’s population has almost reached 7 billion people and is growing exponentially.This raises the question: how can we supply food to so many people nutritiously and affordably while protecting and preserving the environment?Genetically Modified (GM) crops are created for human or animal

A Genetically Modified Organism is an organism whose inherited matter has been altered using heritable engineering techniques. It is basically a special set of technologies that alter the genetic makeups in organisms that vary‚ such as plants‚ animals‚ or bacteria. Combining genes from different species is known as recombinant DNA technology‚ and the outcome organism is known as genetically modified. Now the question lies‚ is genetically modified organisms needed to suppress hunger? In my opinion

GM plants are being developed by both private companies and public research institutions such as CIMMYT‚ the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre.[59] Other examples include a genetically modified cassava with lower cyanogen glucosides and enhanced with protein and other nutrients‚[60] while golden rice‚ developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)‚ has been discussed as a possible cure for Vitamin A deficiency.[61] An international

The social structure of 1800’s Russia was a rigid hierarchy. According to the 1879 census 82% of the population were peasants‚ 4% was the working class‚ 1.5% were the middle classes‚ and 12.5% were the upper classes. The peasants were small farmers that used outdated methods. They were mostly former serfs that were freed in the 1861 serf emancipation under Alexander II. This “freedom” was accompanied by a land redistribution that hurt more than helped because most of the land went to the nobles and

So-called "Bt corn‚" for example‚ contains a gene resistant to the harmful mycotoxin fungus and herbicide producers‚ Monsanto have created a strain of soybeans genetically modified to be unaffected by their product Roundup. The soybean farmer therefore can avoid targeting specific weeds and require just one
