CROPS
MAJOR CROPS
These are pictures of soybeans( top one), cotton( second one), and corn( bottom one). These are very important crops when it comes to genetically engineered food since these are the most grown genetically modified crops on the market. If you can find a unaltered soybean or soybean product n a store it would be amazing.
There are not many studies on the environmental impacts of genetically altered food.
The critical topic of the environmental impacts of genetically modified food has been discussed and debated for a long time now. There still is no conclusion to the debate or extremely strong evidence proving or disproving either side the debate.
In ways there are good and bad parts of genetic engineering but how will I affect our future planet and us.
Well since there is not a substantial amount of information that is dependable so it is hard to find a place to start. But it would be fair to say that genetic engineering may cause some serious changes.
How they edit the DNA.
Scientist are worried about a new string of insects“ super bugs.” These super bugs will be resistant to insecticides a problem caused by plants that produce their own pesticides that are meant to kill that insects. That there is also a potential for“ super weeds” caused by the cross pollination of herbicide resistant crops and
normal weeds. Eventually the weeds will start to pass down the trait making round up a thing of the past.
Besides plants and animals this can happen with other things too. Scientist will eventually be able to genetically engineer humans also to create designer babies. They called also find a cure for cancer and genetic defects. Which would very much help benefit society. Also it would allow us to grow body parts and possible replace some surgeries.
Back to the plants though. Through genetic engineering you can actually make plants healthier. Create a super fruit / vegetable
