Explain what a bioengineered food is as well as the pros and cons of bioengineered crops.
|
|
Definition
Bioengineered foods are foods that have had a gene from a different species of plant or other organism introduced to produce desired characteristics or traits.
Pros: It can help people in areas where regular crops would not prosper. Large savings in production may lead to financial gain and help fight poverty.
Cons: Poor countries will not have easy access to genetically engineered food unless directly given to them, which means that the world's richest nations will control the market. This may result in a high dependency on the side of the poor nations, which will in turn lead to a broken economy. |
