Natasha Kowalski Growing GM crops – a necessity or a big Mistake? FO19sb On March 16, 2014, the Guardian wrote an Article about growing GM crops. I will take a stand about pros and cons. Is growing GM crops a necessity or a big Mistake. In the following I am going to comment on this essential question by comparing pro and contra arguments that lead to an elaborated conclusion. First, it is a well-known fact that growing GM crops have a lot of Advantages and Disadvantages. First of all, what is GM growing? GM is a technology that involves inserting DNA into the genome of an organism. To produce a GM Plant, new DNA is transformed into plant cells. Usually, the cells are then grown in tissue culture where they develop into plants. The seeds produced by these plants will inherit the new DNA. Furthermore, plants can boost vitamin levels in our food, that can reduce farmers reliance on pesticides, and that can increase yields for three decades. Moreover, the production imposes high risks to the disruption of ecosystem and biodiversity. In addition, the big problem is that GM crops could harm wildlife. We could lose useful species such as bees and butterflies. The next Problem we are facing now and will face in near future is...

that humanity already has millions of starving people. In the future, it will be more and more, because we already have the problem of supplying everyone with food. On the one Hand we have a lot of problems with food but on the other Hand, the genetically modified foods can have a longer shelf life and also pesticides are used less often. Therefore, I would say it would take several more years to really research everything, then to test it and see success. Until this happens, I am clearly on the side of the critics because I think we should research something like this really well. If, after a few years, there are really more advantages than disadvantages, and I can say it is good. When I say it deserves that, then it is the highest compliment of which I am capable.
