Since the beginning of agricultural farming, farmers have utilized processes of selection and sorts of “cross-breeding” in order to improvise upon the quality of the crops that they farm. The process of selection consists of a very systematic means of selecting crops and plants that have fertilized in a superior mode than that of sister plants from the same crop. The utilization of these superior crops helps to ensure more consistent plants and crops that reflect that of the superior selection. Crop selection may also refer to the specific types of crops chosen for agricultural farming. These selections are based on the simplicity of farming that crop and it’s profitability (Bareja, 2011). “Cross-breeding” in farming and agriculture consists of the

Palm oil is an edible plant oil which has become a common ingredient in many consumer products. Today, around 50 percent of the goods we use every day contain palm oil, from processed foods to candles, grooming products and “biofuels”. Worldwide demand for palm oil has increased sharply over the last few years. With 54 million tons in 2011, it is the most widely produced vegetable oil worldwide. It has the highest yield of any oil crop and is the cheapest vegetable oil to produce and refine. Since oil palms need a rainforest climate – consistently high humidity and temperatures and a lot of land, plantations are often established at the expense of rainforests. About 90 percent (2011) of the world’s palm oil is currently being produced in Malaysia and Indonesia. Indonesia’s oil palm plantations alone already cover nine million hectares, an area the size of the state of Maine. 26 million hectares are projected for

Hunger has always been an issue in underdeveloped countries such as Africa and India. These types of countries have an issue of food insecurity which is not having adequate access to sufficient and safe foods for consumption. Matin Qaim and Shahzad Kouser wrote a journal about “Genetically Modified Crops and Food Security” which explained how genetically modified crops have a positive effect on production of food and availability. One specific GMO was the Bacillus thuringiensis cotton or Bt cotton which is grown all around India, China, Pakistan and other developing countries (Qaim and Kouser 2013). The significance of Bt cotton is that provides resistant to insects and the adoption reduces chemical pesticides and increases farmers’ fields. Bt cotton shows that it increases income for the households in the underdeveloped countries and higher incomes lead to increase in food consumption in the farms in these types of countries.

Recently certain people and groups such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil is fighting to help maintain the industry as it is an important part of the economy and daily life.

Palm Oil is quickly becoming world’s most popular vegetable oil. Palm Oil needs warm, rich soil to grow. The ideal place for them is in the Rainforests of countries like: Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Indonesia, Liberia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. The Oil Palm trees can't grow in the rainforest because they are only small trees, which means that they can't get enough light in the shadows of other trees. The Oil Palms grown best in hot and humid countries, that are along the equator. By 2004 there were 26 countries that was apart of the Palm Oil Production. In 2014 out of the 26 countries the ones in south Asia were the ones who were producing the most Palm Oil. Palm oil is grown on large scale plantations.

In total, tens of millions of tons of palm oil is produced annually, accounting for over 30% of the world’s vegetable oil production. This single vegetable oil is found in approximately 40-50% of household products in many developed countries like Australia. Palm oil can be present in a wide variety of products, including baked goods, confectionery, shampoo, cosmetics, cleaning agents, toothpaste and in our case; Cadbury chocolate.

The demand for palm oil and value of the palm oil industry is growing exponentially, with the value of the Global Palm Oil market expected to grow from $61.09 Billion Dollars, in 2014, to $88 billion by 2022 and the Global Market Demand for Palm Oil is predicted to grow from 74.01 million tons in 2014 to 128.20 million tons by 2022. However a business of the stature must have grand impacts, economically, socially and environmentally. This essay will discuss these effects and then evaluate whether the benefits of Palm Oil outweigh the adverse consequences.

Mustard oil is a staple of Indian cuisine. There are over twenty-three thousand square miles of mustard under cultivation in India (Specter, 2014). The oil, which lacks the mustardy taste, is very like canola oil. Mustard oil provides many nutrients that are often lacking in a typical Indian diet. Yet India imports almost half of its oil. Fortunately, there is a higher producing and cheaper genetically engineered mustard crop. Although GMO technology is often vilified as only a tool for “evil corporations” by activists like Jeffrey Smith (Smith, 2017), the genetically engineered mustard was developed by Delhi University. The technology will be provided at no cost to the public (Haq, 2016). It has been proven as safe as conventional oil over and over again (Haq, 2016). Yet, outspoken and politically motivated activists continue to block the successful implementation of this life-saving opportunity (Specter, 2014). There is no profit motive in genetically modified mustard oil, its safety is assured, and it fulfills a desperate need for more natively grown oil producing plants in India. It is sad that India is currently choosing to pander to its anti-GMO activists rather than focus farmers, consumers, and even the whole Indian economy.

There are also a few cases in which biotechnology has improved the quality and the nutrition of foods by alternating their composition. One potential advantage is altering plants to produce modified oils in soybean and canola plants. Industry officials reported that the modified soybean plant produces healthier oil and since soybean oil is the most commonly used oil worldwide, scientist are

producer of groundnut, next only to China. But groundnut being primarily a Kharif (monsoon) crop is vulnerable to vagaries of monsoon and also speculative activities. In 1996, the Government set up a Technology Mission on oil seeds, to increase production of other oil seeds and oil, and to reduce dependence on imports. The strategy followed was:  To increase productivity with better farm inputs and practices.  To increase area under oilseed crop.  To encourage winter (Rabi) oilseed crops. This led to a sharp increase in oilseed production driven mainly by rapeseed, sunflower, castor seed and Soya Oil seed production jumped from 6.1mn ton in the mid 80's to around 22mn ton currently. India is today world’s third largest producer of rapeseed and cottonseed and the largest producer of castor seed. Timely and adequate rain is expected to result in an all time high oilseed production of 142.4 lakh tonnes during the current year as compared

The coconut palm is the one of the most valuable plants to man. In Sanskrit the coconut palm is called “kalpa vriksha”, which roughly translated means “Tree of Life”. In India, it provides livelihood to about 10 million people through various activities from its cultivation to processing of its products. All the parts of the coconut tree can be put to useful purposes – the roots, the trunk, the wood, leaves, the blossom and all the parts of the nut.
