GMO stands for “genetically modified organism”, which is a new organism, not found in nature, created by scientists when they genetically modify or…

Cosmetically perfect food, also known as genetically engineered food or GEF, are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally according to the World Health Organization. ("Food, Genetically Modified." WHO. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Nov. 2015. http://www.who.int/topics/food_genetically_modified/en/). It has led to the waste of aesthetically unappealing food as the trend of “perfect” food has grown. However, there are organizations now that…

GM crop, becoming resistant to the pesticides. Based on Brandon Keim’s article, farmers had found rootworms that are resistant to pesticide. Rootworm feed on roots of plants, causing damage to crops, results loss for farmers. Furthermore, GMO harms the environment by contaminating nearby aquatic life. Genetically modified crops’ toxic characteristics can kill off aquatic insects. Steve Hinnefeld stated in his article, “Aquatic insects that are related to the pests [are] targeted by the pesticide…

The early use of maize would take years to establish itself with the Native Americans. The maize plant moved north from Mexico into the southwestern North America.

GMOs are extraordinary living beings in which the hereditary material has been adjusted for development profitability and item quality. GMOs have raised worries over their own particular useful in that they are impervious to malady, help people experiencing starvation, produce more noteworthy yields, and enhance the nourishment of sustenances. Having nourishments is imperative to human life…

The world we live in today is in no doubt constantly changing all thanks to the technological and scientific advancements. These advancements are what have led to the birth of molecular genetics which is the genesis of improvements in the field of agriculture. Food is a very crucial part of human survival, and while it may be abundant in many developed countries, the same cannot be said about the developing countries.

(158 milligrams), magnesium (18.3 milligrams) (United States Department of Agriculture, 2016).
