GMO, also known as the Genetically modified organism. These are artificially designed flavors and nutrition to make food good and long lasting then the usual. A proper definition would be that GMO refers to the plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology. From this different types of food items are created by merging different DNAs from different species. (David Suzuki Foundation, n.d) Genetically-modified plants, animals and processed foods were introduced in the international market in 1990s. North America’s production of corn, soybeans and canola is now more than 50% with transgenic traits which means that the resistance of the GMO genes or crops is higher towards the pest and other …show more content…
It will help them to understand the Pros and Cons of GMO products. Mostly it will tell them what they are eating and where it is from in detail. It will also help to clearify of how harmfull some things can be for the body without even knowing about it. It will not just help the people but the government as well, to start labelling Food products properly and start promoting Organic growth at a larger scale. (K. Ismail, 2012) This research will become an understanding tool for the genenral public on the long term effects of GMO products. On how to minize the use, what to eat what not to and the difference between convenient and non convieneint food products. Chapter 2 2.1 Introduction What are GMOs? GMO also known as Genetically Modified Organisms, which are lab created, through experimenting on food products. Examples could be the extra preservatives and flavoring in Soybean, Food hormones or antibiotics into meat and poultry sector. This method is also known as gene splicing, in easy way means that genes of one crop or ingredient is added to another, like gene of peanut can be added to soya as well. (Tosiah Abdullah, Son Radu, Zaiton Hassan, Jamal Khair Hashim, …show more content…
Now there are cases where the copies of the same genes are made as well, not just that those copies are added to other totally different original genes as well. Now at this point we can may think that a lot of risk can be invovled during this process. Not just that it could affect the end products and following that human health. This rcase was prepared by the Law Centre of IUCN (The World Conservation Union, 2004). They have enlisted numerous environmental risk that are likely to occur by the use of GMOs in the field. Each gene may control several different traits in a single organism. But even the insertion of a single gene can have an impact on the entire genome system of the host gene or crop. Which could later result in unintended side effects, all of which may not be recognizable at the same time. It is difficult to predict these type of risk. Genetic Contamination/Interbreeding: Interbreeding with those wild types that are totalaly sexual and compatible relatives, as close enough they can get. Competition with the natural species: Through this process organisation become very competitive to each other ion growing the species as faster as possible they can. Which has a negative effect ethicsly and economoically as well. In easy words the faster and bigger the product grows. The more damage it has on the property and the product as well.
