Genetically modified organisms or GMO’s is one of the most highly debated issues nationwide. GMO’s are organisms whose genetic material has been genetically engineered to improve productivity‚ quality and resist extreme circumstance and chemicals. Ensuring an adequate food source for this growing population will be a major challenge in years to come. GMO’s will be able to meet those needs because that is the reasoning behind genetically modified. More crops can yielded and prices can stay low

Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically modified Organisms (GMOs) has become a popular topic nationwide. The argument of whether it is ethical to use biotechnology to develop crops has been debated back and forth. However‚ GMOs have been proven time and time again that they can increase food production‚ lower costs‚ and decrease damage on the environment. The increased use of pesticides and fertilizers on plants over the years have made a big impact on the environment. These harmful chemicals

DEBATE REGARDING GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS INTRODUCTION:- For thousands of years‚ human beings have modified nature’s organisms for usage in agriculture. New technology has furthered this trend: recombinant DNA technology allows biotechnology firms to insert DNAs into plant genomes‚ thereby creating plants that express the desired traits. Use of such genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has prompted controversy‚ especially for its role in ensuring food security. As such‚ the use of

Orange contained Dioxin‚ which was found to be extremely carcinogenic. In 1979‚ a lawsuit was filed but the company agreed to settle for $180 million. Around the beginning of 1975‚ Monsanto shifted its focus to biotechnology and introduced genetically modified plant cells. It switched its emphasis from chemicals to food. Now‚ the Monsanto Company is the world’s largest seed company. Because the company is so big‚ there are multiple problems to be dealt with. Environmental concerns would be one

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

At this point in time there doesn’t seem to be an overt benefit or risk to consuming GMO foods. According to the FDA‚ the big three GMO foods are soybeans‚ corn‚ and canola. But the FDA has also evaluated the safety of genetic modifications to flax
