Over the past decades, global food shortages had been a problem to many countries all over the world. Some believe that, with the increase number of population, genetically modified crops are becoming important to meet consumers’ demand. I largely agree to the statement, however, there is another system that can also be practiced to solve the issue. Modifying a plant’s gene by transforming its DNA could reduce the chances of the crops to be infected by diseases. For instance, seedling diseases are very common in plants such as corn and wheat and these conditions may cause marked reduction in the yield. When DNA of the plants that are susceptible to diseases are changed, more crops that are resistant to diseases are grown. Eventually, there is higher yield and the production may satisfy consumers’ demand. However, the availability and cost of genetically modified technology can be a concern in certain countries. The technology is handled by multinational companies such as ...
