Currently 790 million people are undernourished and around one third of the world’s children go to bed hungry. But their lack of food security is primarily caused by low incomes and unequal access to land‚ water‚ credit‚ and markets.1 There is no crisis of world food production on the horizon‚ despite environmental problems and a growing world population. Hunger will only be

This is where you ask yourself: should I tell someone about this? GMO stands for genetically modified organisms‚ and they’ve been around longer than you think. Basically‚ they alter a part of the DNA structure‚ either literally modifying the chromosome or adding some. The chromosome is the component of the cell that

Organic and Genetically Modified Foods Currently in our country‚ there are endless amounts of issues surrounding the debate between organic and conventional foods. Organic and conventional foods differ in many ways; the substance‚ cost‚ appearance‚ health benefits and government interaction of these two types of foods differ from one another greatly‚ but also are considered extremely similar in the eyes of the average American consumer. Is organic food healthier for the human body? What is the

The general public seems to be very wary of genetically modified organisms‚ or GMOs‚ and particularly genetically modified foods. People argue that they are dangerous because not enough research has been done concerning their safety. However‚ scientists are taking advantage of technology like recombinant DNA technology in order to produce cheaper crops that offer to help combat issues like world hunger and malnutrition. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica‚ a genetically modified organism is

Genetically Modified Foods and Organisms and Their Impact on Health and the Environment In the field of molecular biology‚ genetic engineering is the manipulation of DNA for practical purposes. GMO’s or “Genetically Modified Organisms” are plants and animals that have been created through gene splicing techniques‚ or Genetic Engineering.
