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

Many plants are hermaphrodites‚ producing both pollen and ovules‚ however most plants have adaptations to avoid fertilizing their own ova‚ as it is counterproductive in reducing genetic diversity in offspring (William Halmeck‚ 2004). Nevertheless‚ self-fertilization can‚ and does occur. Self-pollination creates a more uniform offspring and allows plants to be less resistant as a whole to disease. Even though it is counterproductive‚ self-pollination does not expend energy on attracting pollinators

Statistical Analysis System (SAS)‚ when it was just created‚ began at North Carolina State University. It was a project which was used to analyze agricultural research. More and more companies showed some interest in it and in 1976‚ SAS was founded. It has grown immensely over the last three decades and boasts of having several of their branches receiving awards for being “No. 1 best place to work in 2010 and in the past” (About SAS‚ 2015).

Who has the right to say who can and can’t genetically alter their body if they had the chance to? Genetic engineering is the only possibly way to make that happen for people. If this was applicable for human use than the world would as we all know it would change. As of right now though this is only being currently being tested on plants and animals such as: flowers‚ corn mushrooms‚ mice‚ pigs and monkeys. When genetic engineering can be perfected then humans can be altered to cure diseases‚ fix

Borma (2017) defined food wastage as food produced but never eaten‚ prepared but never consumed. Food wastage also identified as food loss‚ are foods and inedible foods which are removed from the food supply chain and disposed of or recycled (Melikoglu et al.‚ 2013). As recognised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)‚ food wastage is a global problematic issue with repercussions on the supply chain‚ which needs to be addressed throughout the world (FOA‚ 2017) This

The ideas of globalization being the main cause of the spread of Global diseases is valid‚ however in these day and age it is mostly inevitable‚ we live in a time when people wants to travel to new places‚ where countries economies and food production depends on each other geographic location and their abilities to produce and trade such goods. In time where medicine and its benefits can also travel worldwide the negatives impacts that these global trading causes‚ does not outweigh the benefits.
