Already, crop biotechnology benefits
society by allowing farmers to grow high quality food more efficiently, with
more consistent yield and with reduced environmental impact. On this section you
will know that that there are a large number of beneficial applications still in
development. Some of these would be difficult to achieve using available
"conventional" breeding techniques, others would be impossible to
accomplish in any way other than genetic modification. As with any development
process, not all of these will come to fruition, but we believe many will.
Another thing with Genetically modified foods
is that no matter how much critics has argued on it, it still remains the
best alternative to hunger. Genetically modified foods on farms are generally
pest resistance this is special ability that could save the farmer lots of
fortune and time. Also nutritionists have confirmed the fact that Genetically
modified foods carries about thrice the nutritional contents as found on normal
crops. Below is a chart illustrating the nutritional content of maize compared
to ordinarily produced once. (The nutrients are plotted on the vertical)
