How are we going to feed and clothe the rapidly rising human population worldwide? How are we going to stop famine and crop loss? These are some very important questions biologists are working on as the world changes and problems arise. One possible solution could be the increased use of technology to improve food crops. These crops often have foreign DNA inserted into them that produces a protein product, such as herbicide resistance, to protect the plant or increase yield. They are termed GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) and they are hotly debated in both science and the public sphere. Our discussion for this unit is to pick a side, PRO or CON, and argue your case that GMO's are either going to save the world or destroy it. You may very well find that this issue is not as black and white as it is made out to be!
