Extending the boundaries
From the very beginning nature has been working its own principles. Everything is timed accordingly and appropriately and it carries out a circle of certain processes until interfered. In the article, “Playing God in the Garden” Michael Pollan explains about how Biotechnology is a huge innovation of growing genetically engineered potatoes in it while explaining all pros and cons. Biotechnology is the altering of the DNA and producing a genetically modified crop. Pollan goes around visiting farms employing different ways to grow potatoes predicts the change that is bound to happen in the ways people grow their potatoes. After comparing different forms of growing crops and learning from the American food associations like EPA and FDA he wanders,” Is there any reason I shouldn't eat these spuds?”(Pollan 9). According to me biotech crops are a positive impact on the way we grow our crops.
Biotech crops are cheap and inexpensive way of cultivating. From the factory biotech crop is equipped with small traces of pesticide good to take care of itself against any bugs and pest that might hinder their growth. It cuts down the cost of pesticides and more importantly the labor from the gross profit making the output larger. Just like potatoes many other crops can be modified to stand out on their selves being cost effective and pest resistant. Biotech crops require less care and prove to be profitable by a large proportion in long term. Doing all this it still follows the principles of organic farming. The chemical found in the biotech crops that resistant bugs and diseases is also used by farmers who practice the method of organic farming. Following the simple rules of the food chain it tends to do the same thing on bigger scale.
Not only is the produce of biotech crops of good quality but bigger in number too. While demanding less care impact on the environment is minimized by cutting down on the use of the pesticides.
