The use of GMO is one of the major debates that happens today throughout the world. its genes changed via biotechnology and its use of genetic modification. Scientists can produce new varieties of plants with certain qualities, such as being more resistant to viruses or bug-killing chemicals. Even though there is a main cause of contaminated food, GMO is a better way to go because it protects the world, and creates stronger crops creating less pesticides.
GMO contamination is certain to happen and will happen no matter what through nature. Contamination will even happen via field trials or illegal plantings. The report references 9 cases of contamination of unauthorized GMO crops which have global warning against any food safety. Each passing year, an increasing number of states are trying to start obeying GMO labeling laws in the middle of the federal government's resistance to allow you to know what's in your food. The sad reality, however, is that many experts say GMO labeling will not be good enough in the overall fight against biology since GMO crops can easily contaminate nearby farms. …show more content…
Think about it: You need less land to produce the same amount of food. A UK report states: GM crops are allowing farmers to grow more without using added/more land. If crop had not been available to the 17.3 million farmers using the technology in 2012, maintaining worldwide production levels at the 2012 levels would have demanded adding’s of plantings of 4.9 million of soybeans, 6.9 million of corn, 3.1 million of cotton and 0.2 million of canola. This total area needed thing is equal to 9% of the land where crops can grow well in the US, or 24% of the land where crops can grow well in Brazil or 27% of the cereal area in the EU (28). Especially now, with our population rising, this is more important than
