applying the technology to support the farmers to have a good developed crops and help to produce healthy foods. To make GM crops are first‚ we need to choose the plant to modify it but so far scientist modify cotton‚ soy‚ rice‚ oil seed rape and maize. Second‚ choose a bacterium that prduce proteins that can kills the insects from attacking the plants. Third‚ we must remove the gene to create the protein for the desired traits. Fourth‚ we just need to transfer the gene to the plants that we want

Factors contributed to rising food price 2.1 Demand side factors: As there is a rising demand for meat in the fast growing economies countries such as China and India‚ this brought by the rising demand of grain‚ as large amount of grain are needed to feed chickens‚ pigs and cows to produce meat in the market. There is a derived demand between grain and meat‚ in which an increase demand for meat leads to a rise in demand for grain‚ which driven up the price of grains. Due to the rapid

that determines how living organisms look or work. They also control the manufacture of proteins in a cell. There are about 35 000 genes found in almost every healthy cell. Scientists are constantly conducting experiments on genes. Genetic modification is one of such experiments. Genetic modification refers to the deliberate alteration of the genetic structure or DNA of an organism in order to give it new abilities and produce a desired effect. Organisms that are modified with DNA from another organism

There are many people all over Africa who go hungry every day. Many people come up with different ways to help them with this problem of hunger; they go on mission trips‚ raise money‚ or creating feeding programs in Africa. While these things do help them a lot it does not seem to ever solve the problem of hunger. One of the best ways to help them‚ and to possibly solve the hunger problem‚ is to help them help themselves. This could be as simple as getting many of the farmers to farm genetically

expectations. One vegetable that this is especially true of is corn. Helicoverpa zea or corn earworms aren’t a very appetizing idea to think of‚ yet they are a relevant part of corn production today. This fact became evident to me after working for the maize breeding department this past summer. Around each field the department plants sweet corn as a border crop‚ and once it’s time to harvest‚ everyone can bring home a few ears of corn. Almost every ear has an earworm that you must remove before the cob

actual origin of corn. Per Pollan’s writing he explains that “Squanto taught the Pilgrims to plant maize in 1621…..” (Pollan 25)‚ but the existence of corn dates way back much further than 1621. In a 1948 excavation of Bat Cave‚ New Mexico by then student of anthropology at Harvard University‚ Herbert W. Dick found small cobs of corn at the bottom of Bat Caves floor which were estimated to contain maize that had their beginning no later

This ancient agricultural system using Chinampas is said to have produced a great abundance of vegetables‚ fruits and flowers‚ including corn (maize)‚ squash‚ chiles‚ and tomatoes‚ all typically foods of Mexico and the Valley of Mexico. These typical foods of the Chinampa agricultural system are now widely consumed in Mexico and throughout the world. You can see the remnants of this
