What is GMO?

Pros

Cons

GMO's are genetically modified foods, people change some genes to make some aspects of food more efficient and more efficient for men economy and health

Faster growth

No seeds during growth

Increase yield

Drought resistant

• Increase yield (per unit land)

• Reduce poverty on farmers

• Reduce hunger in less developed continents

• Reduce pesticides by 300 million

• Drought resistant

• Zero contamination is unrealistic, but they use sophisticated method to detect the DNA of GMO crop in this world

• Inconsistent food label regulations can cause issues to distribution/increase costs

• Little endurance from a study commissioned by UN

• Brazil’s 80% increase in use of pesticides

• Low genetic pool which increased risk of crop loss in case of drought

• Lack of long-term study on health effects

• Cross contamination between GM drop and natural variety

• Most of the GM food is not labelled

• Transparency on food labels

Global warming

Some sunlight that hits earth is reflected back, some is absorbed and becomes heat. CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere trap heat, making the earth too warm. This is known as global warming.
