How Does Gmo Harm The Environment

In conclusion, GMOs and pesticides are harmful and alarming to producers and consumers. They cause animals pain and harm humans when consumed. Many animals live short and painful lives, while humans now must suffer with long term diseases or damage to their bodies. Although some argue that Genetically modified produce is benefiting producers and consumers, I still argue that genetically modified organisms harm animals and

Genetic modified foods and crops have also been frowned upon for their potential negative effects to the environment. There are concerns over the toxicity levels in the soil due to genetic engineered farming, leading to soil pollution and destruction of plant and animal life. Despite the positive effects of genetic engineering technology in boosting food supply to the public, the application of this technology raises the use of chemicals and bio-engineered products in farms, hence the environmental degradation. It is essential to support a food crop

GMOs harm the environment because some of the animals in the wild use the genetically modified food. They would die of starvation or they would get sick because of all the chemicals mixed in with crop or food produced. The people producing the gmo foods would ruin the food chain because the animals would have to adapt to eating other foods or would die of starvation. They can harm the food for birds and other animals. Gmo foods use more chemical pesticides and herbicides. Bees produce honey for us and if the bees were to pollinate gmo flowers they could die because of all the pesticides inside of the flower. Having gmos means less weed flowers or normal flowers in general and by knowing we would have less flowers means less nectar would be

So in conclusion, i’m asking don’t think GMOs are terrible for the environment. Realize that they are a great way to reduce pesticide use and do good things for the environment and the world around you. Also the plants ripen earlier and have better yields and that means farmers sell more crop and that crop gets shipped to other places in the world which then helps our economy. That’s exactly why we need GMO crops planted. So we can help the entire world.

Generally Modified Organism better known as GMOs are becoming a popular topic of argument around the world. The question on everyone’s mind is whether GMOs are safe to consume and what effects they may possibly have. GMOS while becoming a topic today have been around for years now. Scientists have been genetically altering crops for years now and this idea has been around for some time. Nonetheless, GMOs are becoming the new wave of discussion among many. GMOs are needed today to help the food shortage but first studies need to be done to show are GMOs safe, the impact they have on the environment, and to show what are the pros and cons are.

Many people are worried about the impact GMOs(Genetically Engineered Organisms) could have on the environment. That’s a reasonable concern. Are GMOs increasing the profits of farmers and biotechnology companies at the expense of the environment? Contrary to popular belief there is no scientific evidence to support the fact that GMOs have a negative effect on the environment. Conversely there is an abundance of information to show that GMOs can help solve many environmental issues and help farmers use their land more efficiently. ​

GMO can negatively affect the environment because many of the transgenic crops are produced by using pesticide and herbicides. Farmers who grow GE crops may see it as being beneficial to the environment, because they may have fewer issues with controlling pest and decrease chance of pesticide/herbicide exposure. On the other-hand, since the long term effect are not known there is a possibility that the crop may build up a resistant to the herbicide glyphosate; therefore, creating a domino effect, by producing more weeds and those weeds may in turn develop a resistance to the glyphosate (Science Daily, 2010). According to the Science Daily (2014), there has been as many as nine species of weeds in the United States that has involved since

GMOs is a technology that will leave it impact on all aspects of society, especially social, cultural, political, economic, and environmental. No technology can exist completely flawless, but all technology have developer that work patiently and determinedly to find and fix the flaws that exist to make the technology close to perfect.

Most people in today’s society are opposed to this scientific innovation because of the fear they have for its potential so called dangers. However. if people were educated more on these types of foods, they would be less afraid and more welcoming of them. The dangers that opposers are worried about are merely concerns and should not influence one’s initial opinion on genetically modified foods and their helpful features. Because of their potential health benefits, environmental benefits, and ability to improve agriculture, genetically modified foods should be accepted by society.

Throughout the United States and the rest of the globe, genetically engineered food products are becoming increasingly used in agricultural and manufactured food goods. Because of the increase of genetically altered foods, an increasing population has become hesitant to accept the products and agriculture derived from genetic engineering. The large increase in genetically engineered foods has proved to have adverse health effects on humans. These health risks are becoming increasingly common as we continue to genetically alter foods. The main health concerns of genetic modification include virus spread, antibiotic resistance, and allergen effects. Genetic modification should stop and organic farming

Genetically modified organisms also called GMO are organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, or GE. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. The GMO is segmented into two groups: first group is high-risk because they are commercial products, second is monitored- risk because it is suspected or known incidents of contamination have occurred and/or the crops have genetically modified relatives in commercial production with which cross-pollination (and consequently contamination) is possible, and it’s not healthy for humans. Genetically modified organisms is a nicer word for processed foods, making it unhealthy for human bodies and harder for the body to break down food. GMO products are high-risk and monitored –risk and it is very unhealthy for humans ( Goldbas, A. (2014).

The world today is plagued by famine and a shortage of tillable land. Millions worldwide are needlessly starving or suffering from severe malnutrition. Science has come forward and offered a solution to these problems with the development of 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.

Imagine if the human race could combat any obstacle that their crops face with a man-made variation of the crops. That is why GMO's were created. GMO's are genetically modified organisms that have been changed for the human race's personal benefit. GMO's play a necessary role in the evolving world today. Although there are many obvious benefits to GMO's, many fear that they will cause harm to their health and to the environment because of how different they are from the natural crops.

In the year 2050, nearly 10 billion people will call Earth home. Food producers must increase food production by 70% in order to feed the increasing population (Rangel, 2015, para. 20). A solution to increase the production from farms across the globe is to genetically modify food. Scientists can manipulate the genes of different crops to increase the crops size, quantity, shelf life and even resistance to pests. In recent years, genetically modified foods have begun to show up in grocery stores across the globe. Some consumers do not object to eating genetically modified food, but others have started to question how genetically modified food could affect the consumer. Rangel (2015) wrote that genetically modified objects are not new to society and should be nothing to worry about. He stated that humans have altered the genetics of organisms for over 30,000 years through the process of selective breeding or artificial selection (para. 1). Selective breeding may not be conducted in a lab like genetically modified objects (GMO) today, but it is comparable to GMOs because through selective breeding, farmers choose the plants with the most desirable traits and plant the seeds from those plants in order to have an enhanced crop the following year. Even though studies have found pros and cons of genetically modified food, researchers still need to conduct additional studies in order to better understand how genetically modified food could possibly affect the health of humans.

      With the way technology has grown, especially in the field of genetic engineering, has led scientists to figure out a way to alter how food is made. This raises concerns and lot of questions regarding the methods they are using. From what possible side effects can occur to the risks it poses to everyone and everything. Unfortunately, there has been limited research and testing done. With that in mind there is not enough information available about the hazards of genetically modified foods. But, what we do know is alarming. Most of the debate surrounding GM foods are focus on the following three issues: 1. Human and environmental safety, 2. Labeling , and 3. Consumer choice.
