Why grow manufacture gm food?
Genetically Modified crops are used because it makes crops grow quicker. And also because it increases the vitamin and protein levels.
Do genetically grown crops take longer to grow than naturally grown?
I assume you mean genetically modified, since anything that grows does so based on its genetic material. No, genetically modified crops do not take any longer to grow than their naturally-selected counterparts. When growing corn, for example, the farmer can choose from a fairly wide selection of maturity lengths, both in normal and in genetically modified.
How does genetically modified food help farmers grow crops under difficult circumstances?
You would have to speak directly to farmers to get their reactions to genetically modified food, but it is likely that if it makes them more profits with less effort, they like it in that respect.
Do genetically modified organisms make it easier to grow food?
It is known that weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Round-up. It is also possible that insects are becoming resistant to the Bt varieties of GMO crops, and that non-targeted insects may also be affected. It is also known that GMO crops have cross pollinated with non-GMO and organic crops. There are other questions that simply have not yet been answered and may not be known yet.
What kinds of problems do genetically modified crops with transgenes pose for farmers who do not grow the altered crop?
One problem GMO crops pose for farmers who do not grow them is cross pollination of GMOs in non-GMO crops, especially those that are grown organically.
Where are gm crops currently grow?
GM crops are currently grown in many countries around the world, including the United States, Brazil, Argentina, India, and Canada. These crops are predominantly genetically modified to enhance traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, and herbicides, as well as to improve yields and nutritional content.
What is the potential benefit of genetically modified plants?
Some benefits include: -More crops -More successful crops -Higher nutrient contents -Allowing farmers to grow them in varying conditions (Better environmental resistance, requires less nutrients for growth)) -More resistant to diseases and pests
Why is genetically modified food cheap?
Genetically modified food is so cheap because the processes used in growing it is supposedly "faster, better, and cheaper." Most soybeans, which are in most of the foods we consume, are genetically modified and nobody really knows. Companies just want to grow more for cheap then sell more at a cheap price.
Does genetically modified food grow more bacteria than organic food?
yes. but not true always this again depend upon how is this food modified genetealy
What are genetically modified fish?
Genetically modified fish are fish that have had their DNA changed by taking a gene from an unrelated organism and forcing it into the DNA of a fish. The only known GMO fish is salmon, which has been modified to make grow faster and bigger than their non-GMO counterparts.
Who makes genetically modified food?
Corporations, such as Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta, Bayer, and Pioneer (as well as others) genetically modify plants. Usually, the modifications are to cause a crop to be resistant to a specific herbicide, or to produce an insecticide in the crop itself. Farmers grow the GM crops, food companies use the GMO crops in their foods, and the grocery stores sell those foods to the consumers.
What can be produced agriculturally from recombinant DNA?
Vegetables supplemented with specific vitaminsCrops that are resistant to harsh weather conditionsCrops that are resistant to pests and parasitesHigh yielding strains of fruits and vegetables that grow larger and last longer
