Globalization of Genetically Modified Foods and their Effect on Human Health
IntroductionGenetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) is being adopted by the developing world despite that most of the European nations have banned them. The genetic engineering of crops has triggered heated ethical debates related to their potential harm to human health and the environment. Methodology – Qualitative approach. ConclusionThe uncertainty about the potential implications of GM foods on human health and the environment have been central concerns raised by majority of those opposed to the GMOs. Several benefits have also been highlighted by those in support of the integration of biotechnology into farming. These include the increased productivity as well as the possibility of alleviate poverty and bring about food security in the developing world.
