...?Genetically Modified Food/Organisms Background of the Issue “Between 1997 and 1999, gene-modified (GM) ingredients suddenly appeared in 2/3rds of all US processed foods.” (Butcher). Flavr Savr, the first commercially grown genetically manipulated food tomato was released in the market in 1994 without any labeling. “The first commercial food product developed from gene slicing (a term for a type of genetic modification) was the Flavr Savr tomato.” (Schneider and Schneider). The tomato was produced through the concept of genetic modification where it could naturally ripen on the vine and could be firm enough to withstand the shipping after it is harvested. It was developed as a “better” version of the normal regular tomatoes... over wide...

...; Solomon, et al., 2009). The actual level of awareness of the public and their perception towards the genetically modified food products is unknown. The recent problems are related to the food labelling. The food labelling results in carrying out of fraud business by the marketers related to the date tagging i.e. display by date or sell by date, various issues related to the label content and various nutritional claims. It has been found that the products often contain words like ‘natural’, ‘pure’ or ‘fresh’ in the food labelling. These terms are generally unregulated excepting some of the certified categories like...

...?Summary Genetically Modified Foods Industry Overview Genetically modified foods produced from the organisms undergoing changes in their DNA through genetic engineering have facilitated realization of new crop characteristics and obtaining better control over the food’s genetic structure. Genetic modification is the production of new crops’ types. The food industry is growing rapidly because of its variety and its link to other industries. World’s arable is increasingly being used to grow genetically modified crops catering to the needs of the growing population. There is immense turbulence in the food industry because of the adverse effects of the genetically modified foods on human body, their minimal nutritional value... and value offered...

The ABIC Manifesto, in large extend, explains the necessity of genetically modified (GM) foods. With the growth of the human population, which is "estimated to reach 9 billion by 2040, and with the small but steady decrease of agricultural land (around 70 000 km2 annually)"3, the GM food plants seem like the most effective measure to counter these problems. Nevertheless, there have been serious objections to the manufacture and distribution of GM...

...Assignment DQ 2: Genetically modified food Genetically modified (GM) food has been at the center of academic debates regarding its advantages and disadvantages, and its effect on the environment.
Advantages
As the world population is poised to double to 12 billion by 2050, GM food is widely expected to meet the challenges by :
1. Better pest-resistance, by reducing the requirement of insecticides and herbicides, thus increasing food yield naturally by reducing losses.
2. Better adaptation to weather and soil conditions : At present crop yields are often lowered by cold weather, droughts and salinity of...

Introduction
Lately, genetically modified foods (GMF) have been a major aspect that has resulted to protest from public interest groups as well as various religions. Genetically modified foods refer to the foods that are produced from organisms that have their DNA changed through the process of genetic engineering. The techniques of genetic engineering and molecular biology have resulted to creation of plants that have undergone modification in the laboratories in order to improve... in very cold...

...adopted complex measures by integrating the laboratory with breeding, and narrowing down to the building blocks of such attributes; the genes. As such, various methods of genetic modification, alteration, and improvement have developed organisms that are an improvement of the already existing organisms. The improvement is in terms of the rate of growth, resistance to more harsh conditions, and productivity. This has been integrated with food production, with the widespread of genetically modified foods. As much as such developments promote the wellbeing of individuals through reduction of food insecurity...

...the label of being genetically modified. All of these efforts to improve yield and enhance durability of food products continue to meet with ongoing resistance due to issues of ethics, religion, or fears of competition from organizations involved in foods manufacture. This report identifies the advantages and problems with genetically modified foods at the political, social, and health sustainability levels.
The Magnitude of Issues
First and foremost, the concept of using biotechnology to improve or modify the condition of different food products creates political...
