Also‚ food labeling is crucial to people with certain food allergies. Some foods are irradiated to clear foods of food-borne diseases and provide support for unsafe factory farming practices. When food is genetically modified the food is engineered with different strains of DNA mixed with different proteins and unnatural chemicals which lead to

These new genetically science allows genetic material from one species to be transferred into another species‚ creating transgenic organism with combinations of gene from plants‚ animals‚ bacterial or even a viral gene pools. This intentional transfer of genetic material has in turn brought biotechnology out from the laboratory to the field. GMOs and GE unique with lots of uncertainties because

GMO IN Food and Agriculture Genetically Modified foods are produced using genetically engineering techniques. These techniques are used to ‘inactivate’ or add specific DNA traits of a certain organism to the other in order to improve it. These traits consist of increasing resistance against herbicides and pest‚ cold‚ and drought tolerance. In 1946‚ scientist discovered that DNA of organisms could be transferred between each other. The first plant that was GM was a tobacco plant in 1983. By 1994-95

Ever since GMO’s also referred to genetically modified have been introduced there has been surrounding it‚ yet little do you know most fruits and foods you eat are gmos or have them in them. beginning my argument Gmos can be used to creating larger fruits so they can be sent to places that people suffer starvation in seeds that do not perish. (malnutrition‚ starvation‚ unfit terrain) The seeds can produce a larger harvest than is normally grown ‚ this can help starvation numbers decrease. Also

GMOs or genetically modified organisms have been a controversial term since the middle 1990s when the FDA approved the papaya to be genetically altered to save it from a worldwide virus leading to its demise. The rash and uneducated decision to save the papaya came without any form of long term effects to the delicate balance of our eco-system and populous. The problem with genetically modified foods is the potential unknown and the long term affects they very well potentially could propose.
