How does genetic engineering help farmers create more robust crops? Learn about environmental benefits of GMOs, including reduced carbon emissions.
GM crops can and almost certainly will be part of that suite of tools, but so will traditional plant breeding, improved soil and crop management—and per-haps most important of all, better storage and transport infrastructure (基础设施), especially in the developing world. (It doesn"t do ...
In this Master's Thesis the purpose is to compare how the 10 largest companies in the world re-spond and react to the threat of climate change. The two main research questions for this study are in the first place; how do corporate social responsibility and external pressure from the civil...
The website also says that outcrossing, or the migration and mixing of genes from GM crops to wild or conventional crops, “may have an indirect effect on food safety and food security.” Where this has been recognized, countries have tried to clearly separate fields of GM crops from convent...
Some environmentalists consider GM (genetically modified) crops to be inherently harmful to the environment, though others disagree. Bioplastics and biodegradable plastics cannot be easily recycled. To most people, PLA looks very similar to PET (polyethylene terephthalate) but, if the two are mixed ...
Genetic Modification (GM) No one really knows the possible effects of GM food (Genetically Modified food) on our health and the environment. GM crops have not been around long enough for scientists to know if these foods are truly safe for consumption. The public and certain NGOs are therefo...
When growing organic goods, farmers do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers on crops, and they reject the use of synthetic hormones, antibiotics or other medications in their livestock. Animals are provided with organic feed and allowed access to the outdoors. When the Organic Farming ...
China is a vast country with certain differences in economic development status, technology level, industrial structure, and natural resource endowment (Li et al.2021). Additionally, ACEs sources do not produce the same total amount of carbon emissions. Thus, regional heterogeneity, industrial heteroge...
1), which do not differ from those reported for other GM and non-GM biofortified crops (De Steur et al., 2017b; Oparinde and Birol, 2019). Making target populations aware of the nutritional content and specific benefits of Golden Rice for their own health and well-being and that of ...
If you do, it will hurt your co-workers’ self-esteem and you might be isolated. In a team-based company you belong to a group and need to behave accordingly. But don’t show too much sympathy. Listening passively to others’ complaints could damage your image and give others the ...
