surpass 9 billion. To accommodate the new populace the world will have to double its food production (Tzotzos 5). Primary growth will occur in the urban areas, creating more pollution and leaving less usable land for food production. Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are the solution to feed the growing population because they require less land, less chemicals, more crop yields per acre, and can be altered to be more nutritious with medicinal uses. However the use of these new sciences are…

doubt the validity and positivity that it possesses but also haters who detest the uncertainty of the future. These same ideas are seen through Genetically Modified Foods (GMF) and their place in American society. They have both critics and praisers as well as support and opposition. The arguments of both sides for the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO) are important and should be taken into consideration. Higher yields can lead to the solution for struggling agrarian workers as they…

nutrients we need to survive. Therefore, we always want to improve the food’s appearance, nutrient values and increase crop yields. This leads to the creation of genetically modified (GM) foods. According to the World Health Organization, GM foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism (WHO 1). Although it is a newly advanced scientific technology,…

effective and efficient solution to this dilemma is Genetically Modified Food (GE). Genetically modified organisms is the genetic material (DNA) from plants, microorganisms and animals that…

Genetically modified organisms or GMO’s are organisms that has been altered using genetic engineering which, consist of bacteria, plants, and animals. Genetically modified organism have been engineered for two main applications which is agricultural production and scientific research. There are many negative effects of genetically modified organisms as in the impact it has on the environment, and the health and wellbeing of animals and humans. Some of the different types of health effects are…

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) used towards food have been highly controversial since the practice started in the 1970’s. Since becoming officially announced in 1996, the controversy has only intensified, feeling a strong resistance from environmentalists, scientists and religious leaders. While scientists, practicing the use of modifying organism, insist the practice is safe, many feel that this is a dangerous practice leading to many health issues today. Before people judge the use of…

Introduction: Biotechnology is a biological process in which organisms, cells, or cell components, are used to develop new technologies. Genetically modified organisms—GMOs—are one important form of biotechnology, or genetic engineering technique, that is useful for the human race. However, GMOs are also an extremely controversial topic for society. Despite the fact that they can increase food production, improve nutritional values, create pest-proof foods, and aid in medicinal research,…

Crops are often modified so that they perform better under certain conditions or produce a greater yield per season. While the changes implemented can vary wildly depending on their intended purpose, common enhancements to food crops include: enhanced flavors, increased nutritional value, increased resistance to disease, increased resistance to pests, and a quicker rate of maturity. Because they are easier to grow and have more nutritional value, genetically modified crops are widespread in…

Cj Gonzalez Ms. Sharief English 4 17 May 2015 Killing Us The image displayed above illustrates a giant hand with the name Monsanto on it strangling a woman who is portrayed as Mother Nature. Monsanto is a company that produces genetically modified foods. What the artist is trying to tell the viewers is that Monsanto is killing the planet with all of its biochemical research and experiments. The element used in this cartoon is hyperbole because it is an exaggeration as to what the fist doing…

consumers to have in order to meet economic, social, and health needs. The requirements needed in order to obtain this have heightened over the years, but with the establishment of genetic modification, we have grown closer to this goal. Genetically modified organisms are beneficial to our world’s environment, consumers, farmers, animals and communities. Produce with genetic advancements have proven to have less negative impact on the environment when compared to other produce. The ability to…
