natural and can only be done within the same species. Genetic engineering has boundless opportunities and that comes with controversies. One of the hot topics in genetic engineering is the genetically modified plants and genetically modified crops. Plants can be used to produce and grow the way we wish by genetically altering them to be resistant against pests and withstand harsh weather conditions etc. I strongly support transgenic

haven’t seen Food Inc. Monsanto is a company that specializes in GMOs and their applications and the patents that insure lots of money. Monsanto forces farmers into their agreements of use and if they should deny and end up using Monsanto’s patented seeds they find themselves with an excessive lawsuit so unreasonable it is impossible for the farmers to have any other option but agree to their terms. Yves Bertheau and John Davison wrote a case study called Genetically Modified and non-Genetically Modified

GMOs Advancing the Market Genetically Modified Organisms‚ more commonly known as GMO’s‚ are new technology that some people run from and others stand firmly behind. GMOs refer to plants or animals and other microorganisms in which their genes are altered for purposes like increased growth‚ improved nutritional value‚ or increased resistance to insects among others. “The common method used in modifying or altering the genes of a particular organism is called recombinant DNA technology” (qwhatis)

Genetic engineering of plants (crops) Pros|Cons| Less tillage needed‚ especially with crops containing herbicide tolerance transgenes‚ therefore conserves fertility through minimizing soil damage through compression. |GE agriculture claims low tillage weed control: this can be achieved by ending the practice of monoculture and instead introducing proper crop rotations designed specifically to combat the weeds of the particular locality. Monoculture creates a weed paradise. | All countries face

most important fundamental commodities that are critical to man’s existence is food. In this regard‚ a country’s agricultural backbone is vital to sustain the way of life for its citizens. Without a sound food and agricultural support system‚ the country’s continual development in all other areas including economic‚ cultural‚ social and industrial aspects will simply move forward at a very slow rate or even not at all. Food production and agriculture is given more meaning and importance in China

Environmental Impacts used to enhance a more common food crop‚ such as corn‚ it might introduce a similar allergen which could have a severe health impact to the consumer. An alteration to a certain plant might make it inedible or harmful to another organism such as an insect that relies on it for food. It can harm organisms that are desirable or can upset the balance of the food Organisms

techniques which are all part of biotechnology gave rise to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and moving genes also referred to as genetic engineering (GE). These new genetically science allows genetic material from one species to be transferred into another species‚ creating transgenic organism with combinations of gene from plants‚ animals‚ bacterial or even a viral gene pools. This intentional transfer of genetic material has in turn brought biotechnology out from the laboratory to the field
