these plants contained in it and most likely‚ before it was integrated into the final product it was once in a science laboratory and then planted in a farmer’s field covered in pesticides. The general purpose of genetically modified organisms is to make a larger yield of crops in one season and use less of pesticides and other insect repellents. Although it seems as though genetically modified foods are safe for us to consume the research has not been conducted on the affects that the organisms

Bioherbicides A bioherbicide is a biologically based control agent for weeds. Among the three major types of pesticides (agricultural pest-control agents) herbicides are used to control weeds‚ or undesirable plants. (The other major classes of pesticides are insecticides‚ which control insects; and fungicides‚ which control fungi.

Rachel Carson published an infamously controversial book hailed as Silent Spring in1962 in which she tries to convince her audience that it is their civic duty as human beings to prevent unreasonable pesticide methods from ever taking place. Carson denounces the simple act of farming by backing up her argument with literary prose and scientific facts. Carson’s implementation of sarcasm lets the audience know that farmers are set on a ’the ends justify

to popular belief‚ genetically modified foods are far better for the environment than non-GMO’s. Because the altered crop can have its own built-in pesticide‚ such as corn‚ the pesticide use has been reduced by 14%‚ approximately 224 million kilograms. Another benefit of the altered genes means that there is a drastic reduction of runoff of pesticides‚ herbicide‚ or chemicals into the surrounding environment. Overall‚ genetically modified organisms have also reduced greenhouse emissions comparable
