Section/Course: CE-B6 The Future of GMO

Did you guys know that most of our food today have been engineered or tinkered with? On May 21, 1994, the flavr savr tomato became the first genetically modified product. It was changed to have a longer shelf life and a slower ripening time. Despite the fact that it had little influence, it was the beginning of GMOs. What are genetically modified organisms or (GMOs)? Plants, animals, and microorganisms that have had their genetic composition changed or altered in a laboratory through genetic engineering are known as GMOs. When we talk about GMOs, we're not just talking about plants; we're talking about all living things, including fungus and bacteria. GMOs are organisms that have their genetic code or structure changed to create a certain trait. It is now far more focused than traditional breeding, which requires the mixing of DNA from two separate sources, as opposed to genetic engineering, which involves the insertion of a gene into a single cell in a lab. GMOs have always existed in our market; the majority of the plants, commodities, and goods we eat have been genetically changed or are likely to be genetically modified. GMOs have both advantages and disadvantages. Genes have been introduced to GMOs in the food business for a variety of reasons, including improved growth, nutritional value, sustainability, insect resistance, and ease of farming. Many years of research can be saved by artificially implanting DNA from one species into another. It might take decades to achieve using standard breeding procedures. Genetic modification speeds up the process of obtaining the desired characteristic. With the appropriate sort of gene added, it can also make foods healthier. Though it may appear to be all positive, there are still worries about the possible negative impacts of GMOs on the environment and human health; nonetheless, these concerns assist to enhance GMOs. GMO was fed to rats in some studies, which resulted in a high risk of developing liver and kidney problems. Furthermore, not all GMOs are carefully studied to see if there are more negative consequences than positive ones. Another issue is labeling; some GMO goods are not properly labeled, making it difficult for consumers to decide whether or not to consume them. When a person is allergic to a product, this might cause issues. Technology has indeed propelled us to new heights. GMOs, in my opinion, are an excellent way to start when it comes to creating a healthy planet, and we should spend more in them. More scientific study and funds are being provided in order to develop a...
