While the world population is constantly increasing, the lack of arable land and climate change makes it more difficult to produce enough food for human being. In the year 2009, the world population had a number of 6.8 billion and by the year 2050, the world population will increase by 2.1 billion and reach 9.1 billion. The world population will grow by over a third, or 2.3 billion people, between 2009 and 2050. Market demand for food is projected to reach 3 billion tons by 2050, up from today’s 2.1 billion tons.
The Global Agro-Ecological Zone study shows that there are still ample land resources with potential for crop production available, but this result needs to be heavily qualified.
Much of the suitable land not yet in use is concentrated …show more content…
However, the evaluation of the scientific solution has a disadvantage despite-it-all advantage of economics and environments. It hasn’t been proven whether if the GMO has detrimental effects or not on human beings because, the GMO’s only been developed for 30~40 years and hasn’t gone through a long-term verification. Moreover, scientists don’t have conviction about what kind of serious impact would mingle genes give to plants or animals. A lot of GMOs such as corns, soybeans etc. have already been consumed, and increasing crop yield is a true fact. 30~40 years has passed since it has been experienced in the 1970s yet, the social issues hasn’t been reported. Thus, many people are still afraid of the use of GMOs and also concerned about the severe impact on health. I hope scientists combine GMO R&Ds or technical developments in order to make safety proofs to produce 0.9 billion tons of additional food by 2050 using genetic engineering technology rather than expanding and cultivating new land which will cause environmental destruction. Experiments on animals (e.g. Gene adding) have direct impacts on both animal
