deep-rooted GM foods are in our lives and how reliant we are on them. It has been 15 years since the first genetically modified crop was sold on the market‚ and endless controversy has been aroused ever since. Certainly this technology of modifying the genes of an existing crop with genetic engineering was created and introduced because of a good intention‚ which is to raise overall crop yield; nonetheless‚ its drawbacks are seemingly non-negligible. Origin of Research Though the first GM crop

Policymakers around the world are considering the option of transgenic or genetically modified (GM) crops to solve this problem. GM crops contain a gene or genes which have not been inserted into them through pollination but artificially. The gene which is inserted may come from the same species or different species and are resistant to insects and diseases (Bhat

However‚ after ten-year introduction in EU‚ genetically modified foods are still unpopular. Despite the concerns about biological safety‚ particular genetically modified foods might impact the environment indirectly. Moreover‚ it is indeed hard to find an effective way to solve the drawback of genetically modified foods. Hence‚ whether they are positive or not are

Introduction: “Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering.” (Mavis 2008). As the population of the world has continued to grow‚ the supply pressure of food has become more and more significant. With the development of Genetically Modified biotechnology‚ GM Foods have been come into our daily lives. Though GM foods can help to improve the quality of life‚ there are risks to complete trust in GM foods. What’s more important‚ a part of

The 21st century has presented a major set of converging threats as the pressures of population growth‚ climate change and food insecurity are driving the world towards worsening hunger and malnutrition. Many people argue that Genetically Modified (GM) crops are promoted as a ‘Miracle Solution’ to solve the food shortage crisis since the use of genetic engineering enables genetic materials to be modified and in turn creates new varieties that exhibit desirable characteristics such as resistant to

as to GM food. Some hold that GM food is a great prosess in science for the woeld. However‚ other people reject to buy the genetically modified food‚ they think the GM food are unhealthy to us. In this essay‚ I will discuss the threat and advance of GM food. Some people hold the view that genetically modified food is a threat to agriculture and human beings. Firstly‚ the threat to agriculture‚ “once GM crops are planted‚ cross-pollination means other crops often become contaminated and GM material
