My question for my research topic is: How have GM food been reliable in solving world hunger issues and ameliorate our health concerns?
My first view to my research is that some GM food were inserted with wide varieties of minerals and nutrients, which help in terms of the quality and quantity of the crops produced. Counties like African were told to grow more GM food as it will be more efficient for them to live through the wars and unstable economy. Bigger countries with massive amount of population like China, are also taking steps to approach using this method as they see fit.
My second view to my research is that GM food however has raises many health concerns issues. Critics argue that GM food has been a problem due to those unnatural traits inserted to crops. People starts to have more and more allergies to food, yet the best part is that some scientists are sill discovering on what exactly is present 100% on a specific crop. Due to this factor, many has confronted the government to stop producing GM food since they are mostly unnatural and contains harmful substance like pest-resistance chemicals.
My third view to my research is that GM food has been doubtful for whether is it beneficial or harmful to our natural environment. There are said to be environment friendly, since most crops nowadays are pest resistance crops which reduces the use of harmful pesticides and herbicides which devastated the land, water cycle and led to air pollution. However, by having to grow such crops, the natural cycle of food chain will be affected. For example, pest that fed on those crops may die and other predators that fed on those pest may be affected as well. Also, our natural diversity will be affected. Cross-pollination of GM food and organic food may destroy what we originally have.
So, should we rely on GM food?
