Genetic modified organisms

Hi! today I`m going to write about the GMOs (genetic modified organisms), they are plants whose genome has been modified using technology and the main reason for doing it is to produce food for humans and animals.

These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content, or if you found some gene of interest in a plant, for example a cold tolerance and you what to introduced it to others plants you can do it, so the genetic-modified plant will tolerate that weather too.

Some of the criticisms against GM food are the environmental activities, religious organization, and some people said that they are some human risk like allergenicity for GM plants like peanuts.

So genetically-modified foods have the potential to solve many of the world`s hungry and malnutrition problems, and also to protect the environment by increasing yield and reducing the use of some chemicals like herbicides and pesticides, but it is a technology that is in a process and we cannot afford to ignore a technology that has such enormous potential benefits, but we must proceed with caution to avoid the human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology.
