Many experts that study agriculture believe it will definitely be able to feed at least ten billion people, because studies have shown that farmers are able to produce more crops on less farmland. If it is taking less farmland to feed six billion people, then the population will have extra land it can use to provide living space for at least another four billion people. Genetically altered crops are also seen as beneficial for the reduction of the worlds hunger problem. If experts are correct, it will eventually eliminate starvation. One harmful effect of transgenic crops is that it causes allergic reactions because of the different genes that people are could be allergic to that get used in a variety of foods.
Transgenic crops are bio-engineered food.
Many genes can be transfers from one organism to another to make them better in terms of hardiness. If experts are correct in their predictions, transgenic crops are one of the greatest scientific achievements of the human race. However, if they are wrong, then transgenic crops could lead to starvation among an over-populated population. This page has been accessed 292 times.
