How genetically modified crops growThe article presents the research of anthropologist Andrew Flachs on genetically modified Bt cotton growing in Telangana, India in which he found the susceptibility of the plant to some pests.Natio...
Text 1 "Junk science" is how Elliot Morley, Britain’s minister responsible for genetically modified farming, describes studies that claim GM crops would be hazardous to Britain’s wildlife and consumers. This week the government granted permission for a strain of GM maize to be grown commercially...
The Colony Collapse Disorder Working Group, which is investigating the phenomenon, also does not suspect that genetically-modified crops are to blame. However, there are some prevalent theories on the causes of CCD: The process of transporting bees over long distances in order to pollinate crops ...
In some cases, these indirect impacts from "growing" bioplastics are greater than if we simply made plastics from petroleum in the first place. Some bioplastics, such as PLA, are made from genetically modified corn. Some environmentalists consider GM (genetically modified) crops to be inherently...
How might genetically modified crops affect biodiversity? How do agricultural practices affect biodiversity? How does food waste affect biodiversity? How does mass extinction affect biodiversity? How do dams affect the water cycle? How does loss of biodiversity affect agriculture?
Industrial seed oils are unstable and oxidize easily. They contain harmful additives. They’re derived from genetically modified crops. When industrial seed oils are repeatedly heated, even more toxic byproducts are created. 1. They’re an Evolutionary Mismatch ...
While genetically modified crops like soybeans, corn, and cotton have achieved significant commercial success globally (Ishii and Araki2017), legal, ethical, and experimental challenges continue to hinder their broader application, limiting their widespread adoption. In contrast, CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome...
Genetically modified crops, also known as GM or GMOs (genetically modified, or genetically modified organisms), are plants with altered DNA, giving them greater resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. GM foods were originally intended to reduce disease in crops, leading to larger ou...
Biotechnology has also transformed agriculture. Genetic engineering has enabled the development of genetically modified crops that are resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. These crops have the potential to increase agricultural productivity, improve food security, and reduce the need for...
