Ever buy a bright green lettuce to make a salad, store it in the fridge and come back later to only notice that your freshly picked lettuce has actually turned soggy, spoiled and no longer what you desired? Notice the bruising on your potatoes and decide to throw it away because it’s unusable? Here we have an example of potential food waste due to natural products going bad relatively quickly. Food waste is critical. Many third world, and developing countries have a shortage of food. One of the arguments that arose is should we consider using GMO’s to help develop and modify our world hunger? If we consider to use these GMO’s more often than regular, we believe it will silence the argument of feeding the hungry and help the nations in need.

One big problem farmer’s face is their crops going bad, rotten, not enough time to sell. By genetically modifying these crops, some results include longer storage, which will help the farmers sell more of the crops they have given the extra life span. Plus in addition, sell the extra crops that would have gone bad if we hadn’t used GMOs to help preserve them. Generally, leads to more food. Absolutely something we’re going to need with our overpopulated environment. By the year 2050, we are projected to have an estimated 9 billion humans. Not including animals or other species. Who also dig into our food supply. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, “the world will require a 70 percent increase in food production to keep up with those sorts of numbers.” Approximately 40 % of America’s food goes to the garbage. Food waste starts a chain reaction of other problems. A food shortage, causes a nutrient deficiency. We need to prevent this from occurring. One great example of GMO’s in action is taking
