GM Foods and Climate Change

Posted on August 16, 2010 by admin


Video from an English project. *What are Gm Foods: GM stands for Genetically Modified . Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species. *Why are foods genetically modified? Genetic engineering offers a rapid and precise method of altering organisms as compared to traditional methods that are slow and inaccurate. *Pros: Increased Agricultural Yield and Efficiency- As genetically modified crops increase productivity on the farm, it may lead to decreased food costs for consumers Pest Resistance- Some varieties of genetically modified crops produce their own pesticides that may reduce pesticide application in the fields. Herbicide Tolerance- There is evidence that herbicide-tolerant genetically modified plants may result in reduced soil erosion and herbicide application. Nutrition Benefits- Food can be modified so that they have greater nutritional benefits, which may be of great use in countries where there are significant food shortages. Medical Benefits- Scientists are conducting research on using genetically modified crops to cheaply and effectively produce human medicines. *Cons: Ecological Effects- Potentially, increases of genetically modified crops may negatively affect the environment. For example, genes for herbicide resistance could

    Well ur half right. You were on point about the GM Foods. But I hope by now that climategate has erupted, you’ve learned that the Climate Changing is natural and the idea of man made Climate change is a fraud. Carbon dioxide is a good thing it is a water vapor. Check out my page to learn more

    The music in this video fits perfectly!!! Nicely done. Could’ve also included info about how gmos spread with wind and infect natural plants, and the lawsuits thus filed against organic farmers by the gmo corporations, mainly monsanto, accusing the farmers of offending their patents.
