Effects Of Gmos In Agriculture

By Elizabeth Williams


The number of people is increasing each and every day leading to individuals fighting for the available resources. The poor countries face the problem of lack of food as a result of this. Scholars and researchers have however established the genetically modified organisms. These constitute mainly of plants and living organisms which the composition of their genetic factor has been changed so that some good desired characters can develop from them. Following is info regarding gmos in agriculture.

One of the desired characters about these plants and animals is the ability to grow faster. They are able to reach maturity age quicker as compared to the normal ones. In the case of plants, this means they will yield quickly thus increasing the food available. Animals will also become big quickly thus able to sustain the needs of the people. Each and every one will be well sustained in terms of what to eat and those in business will have enough to sell.

These organisms are able to fight back certain diseases and are also able to hold back even when the conditions of the climate are not favorable. At the times of famine, these creatures are able to tolerant and they do not die. Certain illnesses which may have brought death are well fought against by these plants and animals. This makes it possible to have a good supply of food at any time.

In farming, plants which have been modified are able to fight against herbicides sprayed. This means that these chemicals will only kill the weed which is unwanted in the farm. This makes the process of agriculture easy to control and more so attain maximum yield.

Selling of these organisms is carried out in all parts of the world mainly at the markets. This ensures that everyone is able to acquire them at a very friendly price. The soya beans which have been modified are highly rich in nutrient when put into comparison with the normal beans.

Failing to control and maintain these organisms properly however has some negative impacts towards the environment. Interactions between creatures which their genes have been modified with normal organism causes them to reproduce new with new hereditary traits. This means that proper skills of managing these animals and plants should be highly observed. Ways on preventing these creatures from mixing should be put in place.

If people also take in these altered foods they also pose a danger of being infected. Some people are hypersensitive to these foods and can cause certain body reactions if consumed. There is also transferring of undesirable genes to peoples body which eventually led to mutation. This type of food should be put into examination before they are made available to people for eating. Some rules and regulations should be put aside in order to test these foods before they are sold.

The problem of food shortage can be eliminated by using the genetically modified organisms. They should however be put into use through good and conducive methods which do not cause harm to people or the environment. Through this high quality yields which will sustain each and every one will be made available. The government will also earn some income through this. Farmers also get to earn a living through making their sales and they may also employ other people to work on their farms.
