Introduction
Our world is full of wonder, hunger, and a generation younger than ourselves. We hold responsibility not only for our predecessors and ourselves, but also for the future. We serve as a protectorate for our planet. The choices we make today will affect those of tomorrow. We feed minds today, who make changes tomorrow. We educate today, to make changes tomorrow. It is our duty to ensure a sustainable future for occupants on our planet. What we do know for certain is that everything we are--everything we do--every action we take--will impact another person, place or thing. We must not remain sitting ducks when addressing problem pertaining to our existence.
The current population faces three main predicaments; population growth, hunger, and violence. All acts arise from one a single focal point listed above--hunger. No matter who you or where you come from, you will eventually become hungry. We can take a look at the food web to explain, but there is no point. When someone feeds you, you acquire energy and gain the ability to do work. People are human machines with a conscience. Our current population sits at 7.6 billion people. By 2023, humanity will reach 8 …show more content…
To produce biomass, to farm for food, germination is a vital process requiring two things; warmth and moisture. To continue each plant’s life cycle and obtain an edible crop, additional sunlight, water and minerals. To an effect, we can engineer this process by altering the natural selection process. We refer to this genetic engineering and produce genetically engineered organisms (GMOs) that are suited to specific human-created demands. With GMOs, we can splice any gene from any organism and insert it into another for replication. Pesticides are simply a method of controlling our genetically modified crops. The development, application and acceptance of pesticides in food sources however, is extremely
