Soybean

technology is fully capable of production. This fuel is also eco-friendly, and has been tested non-toxic to the environment. Currently, most biofuel in the United States is produced from soybeans, but the push to algae biodiesel is on the rise. This is attributed to the problem of arable land needed by soybeans and other current biofuel producers. Algae have the unique ability to grow in non-favorable conditions, like brackish water, making it a favorable alternative. Also, algae have a very short

Consider the following hypothetical example. A farmer in Minnesota decides to switch from producing soybeans to growing bananas. His reasoning is that unlike soybean fields, which are very common in the United States, his banana plantation will be the only one in the continental United States. The cold climate in Minnesota will make growing bananas difficult, but he plans to construct

the most well recognized herbicides is Monsanto’s Roundup, which contains the carcinogen glyphosate. To prevent from killing the crops when farmers apply Roundup to their fields, Monsanto invented GMO versions of many staple crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton which resist Roundup. Like the weeds, these GMO crops still absorb glyphosate, however the crops are able to stay alive through changes in their genetic makeup which make them herbicide resistant. The herbicide tolerance of certain

Can I get GMO’s With That? When walking down the aisles of Giant or Safeway, what individuals usually look at are the amount of fat or the number of calories a product contains. Others just pick up whatever looks good for dinner that night. But what many of those individuals don’t look out for, or even know about, are Genetically Modified Organisms. Even if they wanted to, the products in grocery stores don’t contain the proper labels that make the consumer aware of what they’re actually consuming

Genetically modified organism (GMO), are also known as transgenic crops or genetically modified crops. These transgenic crops has a novel combination of genetic material via the use of the modern biotechnology. The sole purpose of creating genetically modified crops is to introduce new attributes that do not exist in plants or to enhance the present trait for better production, more yield and crop quality. In transgenic plants, genes or a gene is inserted via artificial method instead of traditional

Conserve today, to create a better tomorrow. Conservation is needed to protect, improve, and use our natural resources wisely, so we can have the greatest economic value for the present and future. As citizens of Southwest, Kansas, it is our duty to conserve water for the current and future use of agriculture, municipalities, oil, and gas fields. My family and I have lived on the Cimarron River for the past 20 years. My parents drilled their own house well in 1992. Today, the water level in

Having international business this semester we had a group project with a presentation on a country assigned to us and my group was assigned Brazil. In international business class we looked more at the culture of Brazil and how an American business personal should approach management and marketing in that country. Wanting to continue my research on Brazil and look closer at their economics and development, Brazil is the country I chose to do my research on as they are the largest South American

As human civilization has evolved over the centuries, the way we produce our food has changed. There are many terms for describing this process such as food biotechnology or genetic engineering, but the most common one is genetically modified organisms or GMO. GMOs are used on plant life to enhance certain qualities before consumption or extraction. There have been many concerns about this subject, but despite this it should continue to be used in the future out of necessity. Humans began using

Pig Heart Kept Alive in Primate for 965 days! 22 people every day die waiting for an organ transplant, the effective and controlled use of genetic modification can help rectify this issue along with many others in the world, such as helping reduce world hunger and remedy birth defects before a baby is even born. There are several pros and cons to GM (genetic modification) although the general consensus is that these augmentations of current organisms are beneficial for many different people in creating

t. Corn can help eliminate the application of chemical pesticides. Secondly, it does not need to use a lot of herbicides, which is also harmful to the environment. Monsanto has created a strain of soybeans genetically modified to be not affected by their herbicide product. A farmer grows these soybeans which then only require one application of weed-killer instead of multiple applications, limiting the dangers of agricultural waste run-off.(Whitman, Deborah B.)On the other hand, the genetically enhanced
