Genetically Modified Products, Perspectives and Challenges
A number of studies show the economic benefits of using genetically modified products. Between 1996 and 2011, farmers' income worldwide increased by $92 million from the use of genetically modified crops. Part of the revenue is due to the more efficient treatment of weeds and insects, while another part is due to lower overall production costs.
Evaluation of adverse effects/events of genetically modified food
A systematic review of animal and human studies was conducted on genetically modified (GM) food consumption to assess its safety in terms of adverse effects/events to inform public concerns and future research. Seven electronic databases were searched from January 1st 1983 till July 11th 2020 for in vivo, animal and human studies on the incidence of adverse effects/events of GM products ...
Genetically modified crops: current status and future prospects
Widespread cultivation of HT transgenic crops has benefitted farmers in many ways, viz., yield increase due to more efficacious and simplified weed management, and reduction in overall cost for weed management (Brookes and Barfoot 2018).It has been estimated that in glyphosate-resistant soybean, 38% of the economic benefit has been due to increase in yield whilst the remaining 62% has been due ...

Assessment of Benefits and Risk of Genetically Modified Plants and
Present agriculture practices alone cannot solve food security, and eradicate malnutrition and hunger that exist globally [].Recent research reported that approximately 17.2% of the global population is lacked to the access of nutritious and sufficient food [].According to a survey, the present global rate of increase in crop yield is less than 1.7% and currently, the rate of increase in ...
The impact of Genetically Modified (GM) crops in modern agriculture: A
The global yearly net income increased by 34.3% in 2010-2012. 13,14 Furthermore, while increasing global yield by 22%, GM crops reduced pesticide (active ingredient) usage by 37% and environmental impact (insecticide and herbicide use) by 18%. 15 To achieve the same yield standards more than 300 million acres of conventional crops would have ...
The impact of Genetically Modified (GM) crops in modern agriculture: A
Genetic modification in plants was first recorded 10,000 years ago in Southwest Asia where humans first bred plants through artificial selection and selective breeding. Since then, advancements in agriculture science and technology have brought about the current GM crop revolution. GM crops are promising to mitigate current and future problems ...
Allow Golden Rice to save lives
The consumption of the genetically modified rice variety known as Golden Rice (GR) offers a potent and cost-effective strategy to combat VAD. But this innovation has been cast aside owing to fear or false accusations, resulting in numerous lives needlessly lost (1-3).With the recent exception of the Philippines, governments have not approved the cultivation of GR ().
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
The pharmaceutical industry is another frontier for the use of GMOs. In 1986, human growth hormone was the first protein pharmaceutical made in plants (Barta et al., 1986), and in 1989, the first ...
Use of Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)-Containing Food Products in
The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), also known as genetic engineering or bioengineering, in food has emerged as an area of concern and confusion for parents and families. 8-11 The term GMO refers to foods (or other products) designed through genetic engineering, a process that introduces a desired trait into the product by inserting novel DNA from a separate organism.
