Rice

Not many people have debated over who is the best receiver of all time, that honor goes to Jerry Rice., Hhowever, many people havedo disagreed with who is the second best receiver of all time. Some say Terrell Owens or Randy Moss and others say Steve Largent or Don Hutson or even Calvin Johnson. (TS)It is a very tightly contested contest but here are some reasons why Randy Moss is the second best receiver of all time. It is very hard to compare players like Don Hutson or Steve Largent to the…

1. What new technologies enabled the growth of interregional trade networks and agricultural developments? In this time period people made different technologies for different uses. Three things that are very useful are the compass, caravan, and the plow. The compass was more useful for trading. It was used to tell basic location using North, South, East, and West. It made getting to a location for trade much easier. The caravan could’ve been used for both trade and agriculture. It made…

Hamad Aldawood Project 1 Harris,Joel English 107 Is the use of GMOs Ethical? The application of recombinant technology to make transformations to plants as well as animals resulting in genetically modified foods is an important topic of discussion. GMOs play a significant role in reducing the costs of farm productions alongside other benefits to the farmers. On the other hand, they come with significant environmental as well as food safety risks that increase the nature and the occurrence of…

By making food more tasty and nutritious, it will cause people to be healthier because people will likely eat the tasty foods. For example, white rice is low in vitamin A so a team of scientists worked to get more vitamin A in the rice. They added two daffodil and one bacterial gene to the rice plants and were able to get what they wanted. This breakthrough saved the lives of many who were previously dying of vitamin A deficiency and is one of the many examples of why…

like India, the most detrimental deficiency is the lack of Vitamin A in their diets. This is common in countries where rice is the only staple crop available. Vitamin A deficiencies can eventually lead to vision impairedness and increased mortality due to weakened immune systems. Golden Rice has been one of most acclaimed success stories that GMOs have encountered. The Golden Rice Project works to produce seeds that have been genetically modified to have increased levels of Vitamin A, to work…

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are in most ways beneficial to agriculture. GM crops could stimulate growth and nutrition in developing countries, and there are also no completely proven risks to safety. With more research and labeling of GMOs, the country could become more accepting of this new development in agriculture. This would be a benefit for everyone. GM crops are both easier to grow and more efficient. They can be resistant to pests, herbicides, drought and disease (Whitman).…

boost in vitamins and nutrients. Dr. Gerard Berry, International Rice Research Institute’s golden rice project leader, has produced a rice that will provide 60% of a child’s vitamin A needs in only one bowl (Charles). “‘Golden rice will be good for everybody, but some people need it more,’ Barry says. ‘Our job is to make sure that [those] people have access to it, understand the value of it, and ask for it’” (Charles). Golden rice can help all people with vitamin A deficiencies, but specifically…

malnutrition. For example, many children in Southeast Asia suffer from Vitamin A deficiency. The lack of vitamin A from one's diet may lead to blindness or death. In order to combat this growing problem, scientists introduced “Golden Rice”- a new strand of Genetically modified rice that provides vital doses of Vitamin A. Such implication “could…

Genetically modified foods, or GMO’s, are, “A genetically modified organism or crop containing genetic material that has been artificially altered so as to produce a desired characteristic.” (Oxford University Press (2016), oxforddictionaries.com) The seven most common GMO foods are corn, soy, yellow squash and zucchini, alfalfa, canola, sugar beets, and milk. About 85% of all corn is genetically modified to resist herbicides, which are used to kill weeds. We consume corn in many different…

The approval of AquAdvantage Salmon to be sold in U.S. markets represents a new concept in the agricultural market: selling genetically modified animals. It marks the first time that a company has been permitted to sell GM animals for food by the U.S. government. AquAdvantage is an Atlantic salmon that has had genes added to its genome from both “Pacific chinook salmon… [and] ocean pout.” It was created by “Massachusetts-based AquAdvantage,”who want to start selling the product in widespread…
