Genetically modified (GM) foods‚ a fairly recent development that came about from research in genetic engineering‚ pose a potential threat to human and environmental health. The basis of genetically modifying foods is the transferal of desirable genetic traits of plants to an agricultural crop. Genetic modification creates crops that are resistant to herbicides or can repel insects. Genetic modification also makes growing crops easier and allows for higher production rates. Anytime genetically

The Arguments for and against using genetically modified organisms in food production "Biotechnology involves any technique that uses living organisms or parts there of to make or modify products‚ to improve plants or animals or to develop micro organisms for specific uses" (Dr Sriwatanapongse‚ www.afic.org) In the past century we’ve have been lucky enough to stumble upon one of the basic building blocks of organisms‚ DNA. In recent years scientists have been able to develop ways in which

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Nature‚ Science and Moral Autonomy Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and genetically modified foods (GM foods) have become a highly contested topic in public debate. The controversies are the result of differing views from scientists‚ philosophers‚ economists‚ and even politicians concerning the products of “new biotechnology” in particular with regard to recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. rDNA technology has allowed scientists to move genes across species’

Ben and Jerry’s is an ice cream manufacturing company founded in 1978 in Burlington‚ Vermont‚ U.S.A. Right from the beginning the founders‚ Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield‚ have kept an equal focus on creating delicious ultra premium ice cream desserts and giving back to social and environmental issues. Their grassroots efforts to use local and sustainable ingredients superseded today’s farm to table craze by decades. Despite Ben and Jerry’s annual sales revenue of $132 million and incredible growth

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

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.
