Food. What is food? Most consider food to be the one constant in our lives. It has played a significant role in human society and culture. Even specific foods are associated with specific regions. For example, tomatoes originated in the Andes in South America. Rice originated in Southeast Asia and wheat was first grown in […]
Every living thing requires food in order to survive. Human beings require plenty of food supply to survive in all seasons and when they have shortage of food they will suffer from hunger and it may results in getting malnutrition diseases. Africa is one of the continent that experiences food insecurity most of the time. […]

In today’s world one-third of the world’s food is wasted – that is around 795 million people who do not get sufficient food to have a healthy life. Food is wasted in many different ways, however, many people do not realize how much is lost before it even gets to the store. This is due […]
Genetic engineering technology is the core of modern biotechnology. Since the birth of the first transgenic plant in the 1980s, genetic engineering has been rapidly and widely developed and applied in various fields. At the same time, genetic engineering has brought profound revolution to the field of food. Genetically modified food refers to the introduction […]
Statement of Issue: Genetically modified (GM) foods are a hot topic of debate and have been for over two decades. Currently, there are hundreds of millions of people in third world countries suffering from malnourishment. This is due to the fact that our world’s population is growing far too fast and more food is required […]
Genetically modified organisms pose a series of beneficial factors, yet – at what risk? Companies like Monsanto are booming in the global market as these chemicals and modified seeds are seen as a fix-all solution for better crop production, yet studies show that their impact on the environment may be greater than some believe. Genetically […]
Have anyone ever wonder about GMO’s and whether it is safe when reading a label saying generic energetic. The government or FDA should regulate whether these are safe to eat or put in the kitchen. FDA doesn’t regulate with GMO because of the safety and the danger that is in it. GMO’s should be banned […]
Over the last few years, the food we eat has changed drastically. One of the reasons for this change is because of the introduction of GMOs into the farming industry. Many people are lead to believe that GMOs are safe but upon further examination, it’s become very apparent that not only are they unsafe but […]
For many people, reading the words “GMO-free” on a food label at the grocery store brings a positive sentiment. In fact, around 39% of Americans reported in a 2016 Pew Research survey reported that they believed GMOs–organisms whose genes have been molecularly altered in favor of specific traits–are worse for one’s health. Resistance or apathy […]
Genetically Modified Organisms. Just the name sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. There was a time when it was. Modified or altered DNA has always been a favorite subject in various novels, movies, and tv shows from the likes of Spiderman to the clone army of Star Wars. However thanks to modern […]
Introduction The presentation of Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) into the market has raised a dubious level headed discussion. A worry has been raised about the capability of GMOs to nourish the expanding populace on the planet where the assets are winding up rare while keeping up their great wellbeing in the meantime. The analyst was […]
Genetically modified organisms, often shortened as GMOs, are almost certainly part of every modern American’s diet. According to 2018 USDA statistics, 92% of corn and 94% of soybeans planted in the United States are genetically altered. Other common genetically modified foods include potatoes, tomatoes, and canola beans (Starr & McMillan, 2016). Despite their ubiquity, 58% […]
One may only wonder, what are GMO’s? GMO’s stand for genetically modified organisms. In laymen terms it means that plants and animals are created using biological technology which alters their DNA by modifying their genes, another term you may have heard of is Molecular Gastronomy- which is the altercation of food (which I learned in […]
Genetically Modified organisms, or GMO’s as some may call it, have altered DNA, intended to enhance the plant’s value. Scientists take pieces of desired genes and put them into certain plants, to hopefully have an outcome of an organism with a higher nutritional, cosmetic, and market value. Unlike selective breeding, which can take years to […]
During centuries, human societies depended on traditional breeding techniques, which allowed them to supply members with adequate nutrition. Such methods as hybridization and plant grafting had satisfied people for thousands of years as they improved all characteristics of products (“Genetically Modified Food”). However, with the progress made in all spheres, humanity could not leave the […]
Farmers are passionate about growing food to them it’s more than a job it’s a way of life filled with hard work and uncertainty one of the many tools growers use to reduce risk and help their farm succeed is GMOs. Some GMO seeds help plants defend themselves against certain harmful insects using these seeds […]
Are GMO’s a threat, or are they safe to consume? In today’s technological world, the access to information is as easy as peeling a banana, a product that can be consumed with GMO’s or 100% organic. With the waves and spread of sensationalist news on the internet, many people consume information at such a rate […]
It might sound like a thing. But, it really is a process by which we create new hybrid varieties of plant to get desired genetic traits to make farming process more sustainable. we have been modifying organisms ever since dawn of agriculture for over ten thousand years. as we evolved our food has evolved. Mendel […]
In the year 1970, the developed glyphosate as an herbicide or commonly known as Roundup, is a familiar herbicide among farmers to protect their crops from pests and weeds. The person who is behind the genetically modified seed is Monsanto, who became the biggest supplier of the glyphosate-resistant crops. Biochemist Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen, […]
Genetic modification is the process of forcing genes from one species into another entirely unrelated species. (“”GMO Defined,”” 2011). Most of these transgenic combinations do not occur naturally and they are made to create a certain trait within foods. GMOs affect a huge number of products that everyone consumes on a daily basis. This connects […]
GloFish were originally zebrafish, a tropical fish from the Minnow family. They originate in rivers of Himalayas and Eastern India. Zebrafish measure three centimeters long and were name for their distinct blue stripes on the side of their bodies. In 1999, Zebrafish were genetically modified with fluorescent by Scientist at the National Singapore University. Dr. […]
Many people in the United States are not knowledgeable in or even care much about nutrition labels or what goes into their food, but GMOs whether productive are destructive have become almost impossible to avoid. GMOs are genetically modified organisms that have been commercialized and expanded in the passed two decades. There are many opposing […]
Food serves as a way for people to connect and has always been part of the human story. The effect that food has on culture and social aspects is very deep-rooted in our society. Yet as the world continues to grow, and technology continues to advance, the need for more food is crucial in order […]
In the 1990s there was a significant threat in Hawaii known as the Papaya Ringspot virus which has been shown to cause tissue necrosis. Fortunately, researchers were able to save the fruit by developing a virus-resistant version, or genetically modified food, that looks and tastes the same as the original. However, that is just one […]
We’ve heard a lot about GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) or genetic manipulation. You can find everywhere in our life in foods, clothes and include medication. As science and technology have developed, humans become able to manipulate genes and there are many voices of interest and concerns.There are positive voices about GMO. They are saying in […]
Monsanto’s proposal towards the investment of the production of GMO crops for public schools is not only a good idea towards the promotion of health to the students of Georgia but it is economically generous also. Although GMO crops are controversial when it comes to health in the long term, there are no sources of […]
In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley infers that caution must be taken when practicing science and tampering with nature. Even though the book was published in the early nineteenth century it predicted a lot about what occurs in science today. Science has come so far since the 19th century. Innovations in technology, science, medicine, etc. […]
