There are serious concerns about the sale and production of genetically modified food.

Yet this is
necessary if we are to meet the demands of an increasing world population.
Give your opinions on this.

Nowadays, market shelves are stocked with genetically modified (GM) foods, which
are raising serious issues concerning their usage, production and healthiness. However, in
the era of growing population its necessity is undeniable due to the fact of harsh climate
conditions in some areas of the world. I firmly believe that GM foods must be the part of
our current life and will give the reasons why further.
First of all, it is apparent that world population is increasing dramatically from year to
year and we are to meet their demands. However, it is not always possible to supply them
only with the organic products, the growth of which is conditioned by weather. These
include draught, law quality soil, herbicides, damaging insects. That’s why we have to
resort to the help of bioengineered food as certain genes in them may also help to increase
the shelf life of foods.
Another good thing about the sales and production of BE foods is that there is no
justification about the damage or harm that they can cause. According to WHO, GM foods
on the market are as safe as foods that haven’t been genetically changed. In addition, the
National academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine highlights that there aren’t any
health risks if you consume foods made with GMOs. On top of that these kinds of food have
been lowered in allergens.
In conclusion, I am certain that demands of our society in food consumption should be
thoroughly responded and GM products must be considered as crucial tools in solving the
issue of feeding growing population.
