A few years later in 1980 they met Craig Weller and Mark Skiles, who owned the Clarksville Natural Grocery, they decided to merge their stores. Thus Whole Foods Markets was born.

The increase of food supply can solve the hunger and poverty problem in certain countries in the world due to food shortage crisis. According to Thayer (1999), there is 71% of the land is planted with herbicide–tolerant plants compared to insecticide–resistant crops. Crops can be genetically modified into herbicide–tolerant crops in order to increase their resistance towards herbicide as well as to prolong their life spans (Uzogara, 2000). Therefore, herbicides can destroy many target weeds which…

threats that affect the global food supply, some of these threats include population explosion, climate change, rising energy costs and seed ownership. This gives rise to consider solutions and further implications for these threats. The world’s population is roughly 7 billion and increasing with the rate of 130 million newborns annually. At this rate, the population is predicted to reach about 9 billion by 2050. These high numbers form a threat to the global food supply. “Nearly 1 000 million people…

genetically modified foods that promise to give us more food with enhanced nutritional value, but at what cost? Do the benefits of genetically modified foods outweigh the risks, and can we trust the government to report any adverse effects to the public in an accurate and timely manner? These issues all need explored before the public will openly embrace the concept of science genetically engineering the food supply. Before we can discuss the pros and cons of genetically modified foods, we first need…

The way we cultivate food has evolved over the course of history. Corn used to be small blades of grass. Tomatoes were much smaller, less sweet, and came in a variety of colors. Certain fruits and vegetables, such as grapefruits, did not exist in nature. Human interaction has been able to cross breed plants to evolve and meet the needs of the world. Our ancestors discovered how to modify two different plants by cutting them in half and splicing them together. This process, called plant cutting, gave…

The stability of a food supply is often the most important thing a society can offer to its people. However, in a changing global environment filled with bacteria, viruses, and disease, scientists and farmers have continually tried to find ways to make food safer for consumers. The normal way currently is to use pesticides and preservatives to keep diseases at bay and keep food from going bad and possibly causing harm to those who eat it. Some researchers, however, are still looking for safer and…
