INTRODUCTION Genetically modified food (GM food) is crop‚ plants or just food are created by using the latest molecular biology techniques in laboratories to have the desired traits such as resistance to pesticides and many more. For a period of 10 years‚ between 1995 and 2005‚ the amount of land cultivated with Genetically Modified Organisms had increased from 4.2 million acres to 222 million acres. In 2003‚ the countries that grew 99% of the world’s genetically modified food were the following

GM food producers should voluntarily label their GM foods. Do you agree or disagree? Thesis statement + logical division of ideas scope line within it. With the rapid development of the agricultural biotechnology in recent decade‚its safety for use in human and animal diet has become a generated worldwide debate‚especially in GM(genetically modified) food safety.more and more people started to care about the impact the GM food to human healthy.Thus‚some government have put forward policies to stipulate

Throughout the course of human history‚ hunters-gatherers remained their existences in every stage of evolution as they are the fundamental response units when it comes to food. By the region or area different hunters-gatherers occupied‚ different food source or species of food were limited by the set boundary of each tribe. Oftentimes hunters-gatherers equipped with advanced technology at their time to lower the amount of energy needed to lay their hand on their prey. Bow for example is a piece

Do transgenic crops (Genetically Modified) pose an unacceptable threat to the environment and the maintenance of biodiversity or are they a necessary response to meeting the twin challenges of climate change and sustainability? The population of the world is predicted to reach 19.9 billion by 2025 (United Nations Population Information Network‚ 2011). According to Purchase (2005)‚ this increase in population will bring along with it the problem of food security. The priority for the world

“The Future of Food” In the passed couple of decades‚ the foods we deem to be natural or of the Earth are instead Genetically Engineered. The term Genetically Engineered does not mean that the entire vegetable or food is fake but rather means that there is at least one genetically modified ingredient in the food that is sold all over stores‚ which raises a great health concern for many people. In the feature production of the documentary known as The Future of Food looks at how modern day technology

The claims from scientists is that the are in no way harmful to humans‚ and sometimes even better the natural produce‚ but they also can not deny that it can

is only possible if you genetically modify them causing them to be a genetically modified food. Now‚ you would be wondering what I mean by the term "genetically modified". Well basically‚ genetically modified food refers to the alteration of the genetic make-up of a living organism by using a particular method to transfer one or more genes from one organism to another. By doing so‚ the nutrient value‚ the yield and the resistance against pest of the plant will increase. Not forgetting how it helps

Bixin is a pigment that is only synthesized naturally by the plant Bixa Orellana (from tropical America)‚ and it is the second pigment used in the world‚ for example in cosmetic‚ food‚ and pharmaceutical industries. The authors presumed that engineering genes in sink organs of plants presenting high amounts of lycopene could be an alternative to the natural occurring Bixin‚ which would be advantageous in the market. Bixin is an ester largely used as a color additive since long time ago. The plant

Vice’s article titled “GMOs Aren’t That Bad but Monsanto is Worse” rhetorically argues that Monsanto‚ a horrible agricultural-biotechnology corporation‚ is improper engineering and is pushing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on North America. Vice’s key point is that not only does Monsanto engineer and push unhealthy‚ hazardous inorganic seeds and foods on consumers‚ but manipulatively takes advantage of the market.
