With a growing world population one of the most pressing issues is that of feeding such a large number of people. Some people think that GM foods offer a viable solution to this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In today’s fast-paced world, there is an exponential increase in the global population, as compared to the past centuries. This results in a high demand for food to feed the massive numbers.

Although GM foods seem like a viable method to produce products, I believe that there are underlying effects to these modified consumables and thus, have other methods to overcome this issue.
