A solution is genetically modifying crops to resist one very powerful herbicide, reducing the amount of herbicides needed and damage to the environment. An example is Monsanto’s genetically modified strain of soybeans. These strain of soybeans are genetically modified so that they are not affected by their herbicide product Roundup, which is beneficial since the farmers only need to use one application of weed-killer on the soybeans, reducing the production cost as well as the dangers of agricultural waste run-off (Whitman 2000). Although the impacts of GMOs are not certain, this technology seems to be the most efficient method of increasing crop yields and food supply. It is undeniable that GM technology is a crucial tool in fighting against
