an exceptionally complex biological fluid used for the manufacture of a wide range of dairy products. Numerous studies have focused on cow's milk although milks from other animal species such as buffalos, ewes, goats and camels are essential to the human diet in various parts of the world. In year 2013, the total production of milk throughout the world was approximately 750 million tons per year as reported by FAOSTAT (2013). Buffalo milk represents the second largest volume of milk produced…

that the farmer would be obliged to purchase new seeds annually. The patented soybean was said to be violated by Vernon Bowman. Respondent Monsanto is one of the 6 top biotechnologies in the United States, who developed a genetic material that enabled the company to put new genetic material into plants. It is…

Sesame Equivalent Yield Green gram and groundnut yields were converted into sesame equivalent yield, on the basis of their prices for benefit of comparison of different cropping treatments [Table-4]. Sesame equivalent yield in different intercropping situations were appreciably higher than that of sole crops of sesame or green gram, but were lower than the sole crop of groundnut, in both the years [Table-4]. Groundnut producing much higher yield showed superiority to both sole and intercropping…

identified. As these two articles bring out the different opinions among the health and environment concerns, they also question themselves of whom these labelings benefit. With the common grounds that biotech companies don't want the labelings of the genetic modified foods as well as the perception that there needs to be more experimentation with these foods that contain…

Despite significant misconception, farming practice has been genetically modifying plants and animals over the course of human history. This process is similar to the current genetic modification of organisms through the medium of modern science. However, despite the only difference being the efficacy of its solutions, it is generally painted as a monster and a major proponent against good health by those such as Mary Odum, author of "Arguments against GMOs." As a result of lacking public…

Barlett and James B. Steele is a short essay published in 2008 by Vanity Fair talking about the way Monsanto treats their customers, their workers, and how they do not seem to care about the general public. Monsanto created a genetically modified seed that was capable of withstanding “its own herbicide” and allow farmers to have a “convenient way to spray fields with weed killer without affecting crops” (819). Because they are the bigger company, they often try to contact farmers into buying…

Professor Trencher Environmental Science Diva Dreyer-Maruyama Kuanu,. J. (Producer), Seifert, J., (Director). (2013) GMO OMG [Documentary]. Palaceworks: USA The documentary GMO OMG speaks of integral issues in the case of genetically modified foods both internationally and within the United States through the perspective of a father whose main objective is caring for his children. As he digs, Jeremy Seifert discovers increasing evidence that genetically modified crops pose harmful effects to…

Monarch Butterfly and Habitat Loss Monarchs might as well be the most advantageous species on the planet considering they help with pollinating plants which produce our crops and provides a food source for birds and small reptiles. However, the number of monarchs is decreasing from habitat loss, climate change, chemical pollutants, poaching/farming, and public awareness. Herbicide is their biggest threat because it kills their main dish, which is milkweed. Remarkably, people from Science…
