What are the benefits of genetically modified food? Are there any risks associated with these food items?

#food #risks #items
The abilities of bioscience increase with each passing year. It is a field that has revolutionized the way people produce and consume food. The manner in which it has improved human lifestyles the world over and the risks associated with

 science will be examined in the following essay. On the one hand, the art behind genetically modified food has allowed societies to produce bountiful crop yields despite territorial constraints. Take the instance of genetically modified rice in China. In the mid-twentieth century, the scientist Yuang Longping developed a new kind of rice that produced a tremendously larger harvest than traditional rice crops.

genetically modified feed. Despite

 advantages, there are some risks that should be kept in mind when experimenting with the genetics of food.
For instance
, roughly forty years ago, Nestle baby formula sold to mothers in several African countries, led to the deaths of many infants. Because these mothers did not have access to the quality of water needed to mix the formula properly, these babies died needlessly, as they would have

, it is clear that real risks are present when it comes to the consumption of genetically modified foodstuff.
Although
 genetically modified meals have a mixed history, I feel humanity's understanding of the techniques behind these foods should help curb future problems.
Hence
, I support and encourage the development and consumption of enhanced cuisine through technology and expect these items to make up increasingly large percentages of diets around the world.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
