to surprised farmers‚ impacts from the GMO crops have no longer been gentle. Yanking each and every weed one by one‚ the formerly stringy plants have proven itself to be much more than an easy match for both the once effective herbicides and the farmer. GMOs‚ or genetically modified organisms are plants or animals that have been re-engineered with the DNA of bacteria‚ viruses‚ or other plants and animals. With the intention of being able to alter the crop to reap numerous benefits‚ GMOs have made

But sometimes‚ those fertilizers are too acidic and contain many chemicals that instead of making the crops better‚ the crops were made worse. Most people and Filipinos today are depending on the crops we eat even with its rising value. Hence‚ we still need a more organic and safer fertilizer to make the crops grow well. Given the

Some have argued that the globalization of capitalism has resulted in an alteration of production patterns in the developing nations‚ transforming them into cash crop exporters controlled by multinational capital‚ thereby threatening food security (Bonanno et al. 1990). Despite the transformatory nature of capitalism‚ however‚ non-capitalist forms of production still persist globally. One such form is the family

Growing plants in an area in which they are not typically exposed to‚ the surrounding environment is at risk for potential damage. GMO cross breeding can occur as a result of this. Pollens from a genetically modified crop could carry to a crop intentionally grown without the use of GMOs. Consumers could suffer the effects of GMOs and those who try to avoid GMOs would be unaware they’re consuming them. GMO plants designed to become resistant to herbicides can contaminate weeds
