In a world where the population is growing at an alarming pace‚ the agricultural biotech corporation Monsanto and its scientists are now trying to create solutions to feeding the people more abundantly. Many claim that the solution to end famine start and end with speeding up the process of growing food. Nearly 15 percent of United States households struggle to put food on the table and by growing food faster it may decrease this statistic. Genetically modified foods have been researched and put

The Changing Face of Food in the US Monsanto is the world’s largest agricultural biotechnology corporation‚ accounting for over 90% of the genetically engineered organisms on the market. With Monsanto being a monopoly‚ controversies arise for farmers. “Farmers have found themselves stuck between Monsanto and a hard place” (Delano). The controversies are due to many reasons such as the lack of choice for farmers and the schemes used on farmers. Farmers came to understand that they have no choice

in people’s mouth after mention of their parent‚ Monsanto‚ remains to be seen. GMOs and the use of hormone injections are held in a false light by people opposed to the malevolent nature of corporations such as the Monsanto company. The Monsanto company is generally seen‚ by the well-informed‚ as a big bad guy. And with good reason. They are big bad guys. Or at least‚ they have a track-record of behaving like big bad guys. In the days when Monsanto was more concerned with chemical engineering‚ markedly

Arzaga‚ Eunisse C. BSA1FHC APPLICATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Medicine In medicine‚ modern biotechnology finds applications in areas such as pharmaceutical drug discovery and production‚ pharmacogenomics‚ and genetic testing (or genetic screening). Pharmacogenomics (a combination of pharmacology and genomics) is the technology that analyses how genetic makeup affects an individual’s response to drugs. It deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide
