Nowadays the modern world is faced with a problem of hunger in some parts of the world and feeding such a large number of people. It has its origins in a growing world population during the last centuries. As other people I am of the opinion that GM foods are a possible way to solve this problem with widespread famine due to overpopulation.
It is certain that modifications in the genomic structure have a positive effect for increasing harvest such as including unfreezing or high reproduction genes. Scientists can include some genes with the necessary features in the structure of cash crops, which were cut from the wild plants. These modifications help farmers to enhance the harvest without problems caused by frosts, insects or any other conditions. For instance, genetically modified wheat is wheat that has been engineered by the manipulation of its genome using biotechnology, and has a resistance to the freezing temperature. In spite of all the advantages some people are scared of eating GM foods, in other words, they are sure that modified genes can build in the human genome and modify the nucleotide structure of our DNA. From the scientific point of view, in real life their fears don’t have any causes because of inability to insert genes from the plants in the human genome. At the same time scientists are working with the modification of animal organisms, which has more challenges, but also good perspectives to solve the issue with widespread famine.
In conclusion, it is clear that the benefits of GM foods outweigh the drawbacks, and promise to overcome world famine.
