seeds from the hybrids planted will not consistently have the desired characteristics. This is why hybrid seed is constantly repurchased by growers for each planting season. Crop yield[edit] Using the techniques of modern biotechnology‚ one or two genes (Smartstax from Monsanto in collaboration with Dow AgroSciences will use eight‚ starting in 2010) may be transferred to a highly developed crop variety to impart a new character that would increase its yield.[26] However‚ while increases in crop yield

The report’s release late last month came days before biotech giant Monsanto decided not to submit any further applications for GMOs to the European Union; a decision forced by non-acceptance on scientific grounds and rejection by civil society.

Genetically modified organisms‚ also known as “Proposition 37‚” had contaminated the food supply. “A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced in the genes of an unrelated plant or animal” (Seeds of Deception).

protests against genetically modified organisms and the company of Monsanto‚ which makes genetically modified organisms. While genetically engineered seeds can provide some benefits‚ such as being resistant from pesticides‚ there are also many dangers involved with the organisms. One concern is that the plants will contain a large amount of glyphosate when they are harvested which is then consumed by humans and animals. As the company Monsanto grows‚ genetically modified organisms are reaching countries

Since the Regan days‚ federal regulatory efforts have governed by what is known as the Coordinated Framework for regulation of Biotechnology. The Coordinated Framework of Biotech believes in the idea that overseeing GMOs requires no new laws. An example of poor regulation method is the new genetically modified (GM) type of Kentucky bluegrass that will be able to withstand the Roundup
