Gmo-Modified Foods Benefits

The world has many problems and one of the biggest problems is our growing population. There are a lot more humans than there used to be, and the human population is continuing to grow.https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth/ This creates a problem by giving the world a lot more mouths to feed. A solution to solve this problem can be genetically modified organisms. We can utilize GEs crops to help sustain our rapidly growing population and even end world hunger as our genetically engineered foods have a longer shelf life, grow faster and are easier to grow/ raise than ever beforehttp://coalitionforsafeaffordablefood.org/benefits-of-biotechnology/.GM crops have more benefits than most people know about. One of the major benefits …show more content…
Some GM plants can also have a longer shelf life and are able to stay fresh longer, which can make transportation a lot easier and reduce food waste. http://inhabitat.com/gmo-tomatoes-could-stay-fresh-for-over-a-month/. This can help countries that cannot produce their own food or lack of it. Most GM crops have the ability to survive in harsh conditions such as drought, cold, and wind. They also usually have a tolerance to pesticides, herbicides and other conditions that may not be considered goodhttp://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/genetically-modified-organisms-gmos-transgenic-crops-and-732http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/genetically-modified-organisms-gmos-transgenic-crops-and-732. Growing genetically modified organisms not only benefits humans, but the environment as well by limiting chemicals used to treat crops. GM crops should be recognized as a safe healthy food choice to consume that benefits the human population and the
