Genetically modified (GM) crops are designed to be protected from pest and insects without harmful chemical pesticides to the surrounding environment. Research has been done to suggest that the GM plants are harming the natural organisms in the environment. The crops have harmful effects on some insects such as death‚ mutated offspring‚ and a change in lifespan. These crops have been claimed toxic and dangerous to the environment. Others claim that there has not been enough research on the GM crops to suggest

of GM 1.1 Early History In the early 1900’s‚ the first companies that would form the company as we know it today began to emerge.

Under the leadership of William Durant‚ September 16th 1908 marked the birth of the General Motors Company‚ initially incorporating the Buick Motor Company. GM then

Corn‚ soybeans‚ and canola and cottonseed oils are among the top GMO crops. According to author Diana Bocco‚ approximately 85% of all soybeans grown in the United States are genetically modified‚ and at least some of the corn grown in every state is GM. Cottonseed oil is not sold as cooking oil‚ but is an ingredient in many

This pushed GM to request assistance from the U.S. Treasury which resulted in the restructuring of their US operations. The start of this restructuring change involved downsizing GM’s operations in the US. Along with the mandate imposed from the US government GM engaged in downsizing to reduce costs‚ and to cope with the external pressures. The pressures that propelled GM to change included market decline pressure‚ fashion pressures‚ and mandated pressures. In its restructuring‚ GM closed plants

First‚ GM is the major part of a large supply chain. The scope of this supply chain and the role of GM in it is reflected in its annual $63 billion procurement expense. The cost savings associated with e-procurement will be immense. Second‚ GM’s ability to push adoption of e-procurement by every link

first time GMO foods were sold in shops was in 1994. With its many benefits being higher quality and nutritious foods‚ their are still its negative affects one being the cross contamination between the GM food crops and the non- GM food crops. The main reason of controversy with GM foods are whether the GM food should be labeled and the risks of allergic reactions. A selection of foods have been genetically modified to be resistant to the contact of insects and some other pests. Genetically modified

plants to assist in farmers’ efficiency. The introduction of GM crops into the Indian agricultural has resulted in many changes to the sector. Such crops and seeds are genetically engineered to make them sterile and unusable for replanting‚ resulting in farmers having to buy new seeds from a central supplier each year. The GM crops were observed to be harmful to health and the government imposed temporary ban on some of the types of GM crops. The agricultural scientists should focus on biodiversity
