cross-contaminate neighboring organic plants‚ causing incalculable damage. An unapproved GM rice that was grown for only one year in field trials was found to have caused extensive contamination of the US rice supply. A Spanish study found that GM maize “has caused a drastic reduction in organic cultivations of this grain and is making their coexistence practically impossible”. Worse still‚ the GM Giants know this happens and actually sue farmers for patent infringement when their organic plants

From the beginning of the early ages‚ humans had always lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle‚ but it was not until a couple thousand years ago that they started to transition into an agricultural lifestyle (B.M. CHASSEY‚ 2007). Before genetic engineering even existed‚ some plants bred naturally in their own environment with no human interference and these are known as “hybrids.” Many argue that hybridization and genetic engineering are essentially the same thing.

Genetically modified organisms- a step ahead or a step in the wrong direction? Paulina Langowska Genetically modified organisms‚ also known as GMO‚ are such organisms whose genetic material has been artificially changed using genetic engineering. Genetic engineering‚ to put it simply‚ is altering the DNA technology‚ using DNA molecules from various organisms and using this molecules to create a brand new set of genes. Then the set of genes is added to an organism’s genome. Below is shown an exchange
