Why We Will Need Genetically Modified Foods Climate change will make it increasingly difficult to feed the world. Biotech crops will have an essential role in ensuring that there’s enough to eat. Categorized in Uncategorized Thinking in Silicon Microchips modeled on the brain may excel at tasks ...
DESCRIPTION This argumentative research paper supports the production of the genetically modified crops which can be potential solution for the growing risks of food insecurity as the current agriculture technology might fail to supply nutritious foods to the growing population as as the risks such as ...
I think that genetically modified foods should be banned.Here's why. We have no idea of the real impact they have on our environment.While there's currently no hard proof that environmental damage is being done by genetically modified foods there are a few worrying and suspect events that ma...
The challenge is to avoid reducing yields under good growing conditions. So Blumwald has identified a protein that activates the inserted genes only under adverse conditions. “There’s no cure for drought. If there’s no water, the plant dies. I’m not a magician,” he says. “We just...

by guest blogger David Bronner I've recently been activated on the genetically engineered food, or GMO, issue: If nothing is done, any crop or animal with
iii The government claims that independent safety assessments have been conducted yet there is no evidence to back this up Ironically, even though consumers are kept in the dark about whether the food they buy is GM or not, South African legislation called the Genetically Modified Organisms Act,...
GM foods won’t solve the food crisisA 2008 World Bank report concluded that increased biofuel production is the major cause of the increase in food prices.1 Biofuels are crops grown for fuel rather than food. GM giant Monsanto has been at the heart of the lobbying for biofuels – while ...
While it may be ok for making pants and shirts, cottonseed oil is truly not safe to consume. The majority of cotton plants are genetically modified - altered at the molecular level. Even though we are not eating the cotton plant directly, the extracted oil contains the same properties as th...
