GM Foods and Climate Change

Video from an English project.

*What are Gm Foods: GM stands for Genetically Modified . Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species.

*Why are foods genetically modified?

Genetic engineering offers a rapid and precise method of altering organisms as compared to traditional methods that are slow and inaccurate.

*Pros: Increased Agricultural Yield and Efficiency- As genetically modified crops increase productivity on the farm, it may lead to decreased food costs for consumers
Pest Resistance- Some varieties of genetically modified crops produce their own pesticides that may reduce pesticide application in the fields.
Herbicide Tolerance- There is evidence that herbicide-tolerant genetically modified plants may result in reduced soil erosion and herbicide application.
Nutrition Benefits- Food can be modified so that they have greater nutritional benefits, which may be of great use in countries where there are significant food shortages.
Medical Benefits- Scientists are conducting research on using genetically modified crops to cheaply and effectively produce human medicines.

*Cons: Ecological Effects- Potentially, increases of genetically modified crops may negatively affect the environment. For example, genes for herbicide resistance could potentially be transferred from a genetically modified crop to natural relatives, or crops modified to be pest resistant could affect non-pest organisms.
Human Health Effects- Genetically modified food may contain unexpected allergens, depending on the genes inserted. Additionally, although no harmful health effects have been found or are likely, the long-term effects of eating genetically modified food are still not fully known.
Effects on Farming- As more and more seed stock becomes genetically modified, increasing amounts of seed fall under the control of biotech companies rather than that of individual farmers.

p.s.: I used youtube videos, so if i used any of your videos please let me know, so that i can give you some credit.

Thanks for watching

Diminuíram os custos e aumentaram o numero de doentes... Mas somos ainda racionais... Descendentes do bicho rabudo... :)))

Vídeo excelente!!!

Milhões de estrelas!!!

i was totally with you until you went all global warming. Global warming is a fucking farce to create new tax. It makes the people dependent to the UN. The wannabe New World Order

..A secret government who so happen to belong to a corrupt form of freeMASONRY cult are behind GMO foods .You will find the word "mason" in Monsanto they are also located in MASON city Iowa!!.They are also behind, water fluoridation, chemtrails, food additives dumped in our food, vaccination program ,+ pharmaceuticals.This is a genocide program to reduce the worlds population- designed to give you cancer!.. see Esoteric Agenda and The Dawn of a New Day by Jordan Maxwell..-youtube movies!

Well ur half right. You were on point about the GM Foods. But I hope by now that climategate has erupted, you've learned that the Climate Changing is natural and the idea of man made Climate change is a fraud. Carbon dioxide is a good thing it is a water vapor. Check out my page to learn more
