Just a few examples of genetically modified crops are: Maize‚ potatoes‚ soybean‚ yeasts‚ herbicide and pesticide resistant crops and modified food additives and enzymes. Even though the effects of genetically modified food will have both positive and negative impacts on the human population‚ they will impact every person differently

Our ancestors first cultivated plants some ten thousand years ago. They domesticated animals later and then selectively bred both plants and animals to meet various requirements for human food. Humans discovered natural biological processes such as fermentation of fruits and grains to make wine and beer‚ and yeast for baking bread. Manipulation of foods is not a new story‚ therefore. The latest agricultural discovery uses genetic engineering technology to modify foods. Farmers and plant breeders

Many advancements and improvements have been made over the last 200 years‚ in the farming realm‚ in order to create better crop yields and‚ more importantly‚ make farming a whole lot easier for the typical farmer (typical meaning a 750-1500 acre farm). Technology has come a long way in the farming industry which makes the farm and the equipment used on the farm nothing like what it started out as‚ the seed is also very different than originally used.
