Answer:
As we all know, the world is facing a massive global food shortage. World population is exploding at the same time that over farming, overfishing and environmental degradation are all starting to catch up with us. Availability of land for farming is on the decline, water for agriculture and other uses is increasingly scarce. Together these and other forces will change the capacity of the world’s food production system.
The world has experienced an unprecedented increase in population during the past century, with a billion people added every decade during the last three decades alone. Dramatic shifts in production and consumption of food have accompanied this population explosion, including a surge in grain production, a spectacular rise in meat production and consumption, and the emergence of an increasingly vital role for international trade. It is now being projected that global demand for food will more than double over the next 50 years.
Genetically Modified food has been man’s solution to cope with this changing environment and lifestyle. Although, GM food has experienced a rapid growth in the last decade, today it remains as controversial as ever, particularly given that a large amount of research studies are conflicting and many have been presented in slanted or exaggerated ways. Examples of game changing technology include Biomimetics, Invitrio Meat, Genetic Engineering and Synthetic Biology
