Genetically Modified Foods: Harmful Or Helpful?
Introduction
This task is about Genetically Modified (GM) Food. It has literature review, which has information taken from different sources in the internet. Methodology is where I explain how am I going to collect the information, number of questionnaires that will be handed out to people and explaining how am I going to be fair to people who are going to answer my questionnaires and interviews. There is going to be presentation of findings, where the findings from interviews and questionnaires going to be presented in the form of graphs, pie charts and tables.
Research question: Should we be concerned about Genetically Modified Food?
Motivation:
