The Green children of Woolpit were two children who had an unusually green tinge of their skin, who had conspicuously appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England around the 12th century. The theories include that the children originated from an unusual realm or region, they were Flemish immigrants who migrated to England, where they experienced an impact in their diet and they had established from a human colony on an inhibited planet. There are several theories which contribute to…

Are GMOs Safe “They Say” When it comes to the topic of the safety of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) most of us will readily agree that it is a highly debatable, and controversial topic. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is the question of whether GMOs are safe or not based on numerous scientific studies. Whereas some are convinced that GMOs are health threatening for us humans and pose an environmental danger, others maintain the idea that the usage of GMOs is harmless and can…

Genetic Modifications: a Phenomenal Technological Advancement Genetically modified organisms have the potential to save millions of lives in areas where people are starving. However, foods and other products which contain genetically modified organisms are rejected and avoided in several places worldwide. This is mainly because the technology that is used to change the DNA of a plant, animal, or bacteria is new to everyone. A common misconception today is that GMOs cause harm to the environment…

Harari’s Sapiens Sapiens written by Yuval Noah Harari depicts the history of humans in his own way. By bringing the history and science of human development together he creates valid points that make the mind of the reader rethink their existence. His ideas began with the Cognitive and Agricultural development and how it changed the course of history. In many ways there was much to find in these two eras and from the finding Harari explains his reasoning for believing why they were…

2. Introduction Nitrogen fertilizer can aid increase crop production and provide more food for the growing population. Since earlier ages, people has shown preoccupation about soil fertility and soil exhaustion (Strawn, Bohn, & O'Connor, 2015). Some management practices such as manure application or crop rotation were known by Chinese 3000 years ago (Strawn, Bohn, & O'Connor, 2015). However, it was just in the last-century that the crop yield increased dramatically. Improvements of hybrids, soil…

ISSUE: Kraft Heinz cheese which labelled “100% Grated Parmesan Cheese” was found to have 3.8% cellulose. Although Bloomberg News story mentioned that between 2 to 4 percent is considered to be an “acceptable level”, consumers still consider this case as a fraud and even filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz in federal district court on 2016, 27 January. On this day, a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz in the federal Northern District court was filed by an Illinois woman named…

4. Risk Assessment Issues The risk assessment in any industry is very important, can use to direct potential intervention strategies at different food processing steps. in this case, the risk of Listeria monocytogenes can be potential sources of contamination from milk source especially if this cheese made from raw milk and by traditional methods and manufacturing process, and this happened in this case, one of main source of hazards in Lanark Blue cheese by used of Ewes raw milk. According to…

6.1 Conclusion In view of the research findings, it was noted that farmers are conscious about the fact that producing sorghum and millets can play a pivotal role in enhancing food security in the study area. This is in line with the major assertions of the conceptual framework that was used. Farmers provided more information that filled the once silent gap on why they are not cultivating sorghum and millets. Regardless of some respondents knowing about the resilience and versatility of coarse…

10,000 years! That’s the time prehistoric farmers have been domesticating crops. Can you believe that? That unfortunately opened the door to genetic engineering in farming. Genetic engineering in general has been going on for ages. The process of altering DNA in an organism genome, is known as genetic engineering. In a more accessible understanding it is known for changing DNA in an organism’s chromosomes. It can be used variously in the field of science and engineering. For instance, in…

2.3 Analyse To curb the problem at hand, Idris Jala formed a group of 10 to 15 individuals from different background to analyse the problem and to come up with possible solutions (Dichter et al., 2008). These individuals are the smartest and the crème of the crop where they are assigned into laboratories (labs) where they have to churn the data fast, since the company did not have time to spare. Once solutions are found, Idris Jala and the company would implement them in a bid to ensure that…
