Impacts of Genetic Engineering in Agriculture
Genetically modified organisms are substances whose genes get
altered through genetic engineering. The process gets done with
the aid of adding proteins and chemicals into the genes of the
organism. Genetic engineering has been applied in both crop
production and animal rearing and led to several impacts both
good and bad. Different people have divergent views concerning
these GMOs.
There are several advantages associated with GMOs in
agriculture. First and foremost is that the crops grown are
modified in such a way that they can easily resist pests meaning
that the output will not be affected, and also the cost of

2. purchasing pesticides will be foregone. Additionally,
genetically modified agricultural products are adamant towards
the harsh climatic conditions. In the event of lack of rain or
severe rain, these crops can give a right out- put.
The out- put off these plants is assured to be large as they fail
to be affected by both pests and adverse climatic conditions.
Food security gets guaranteed at all times. GMO crops and
animals are also well known for requiring fewer farm
implements such as chemicals and time this reduces their cost
of production to the farmers. Farmer’s income is thus improved
day by day and also the country’s per capita income too.
World's population grows at an alarming rate. Ensuring
sufficient food supply to this growing population will mean
constant deforestation to create more land space for farming.
However, with genetically modified engineering crops and
animals at hand, we are assured of more food production with
less deforestation (
Godfray et al., 2010).
Eventually, deforestation gets decreased, and at the same time,
global warming minimized.
Since genetically modified foods are not 100% natural, there is
the need to conduct thorough testing before the release of such
products. There has been a case where a product has killed
people and affects much more because of not testing it before
it’s discharged into the market. These products are also not safe
to eat at all. Scientific research has proven that some foods
containing GMOs are not safe for some species including human
beings causing illness and eventually death.
Scientists discovered a new method of enhancing food
production through altering the genetic make- up of the genes

3. making up these crops through a process known as genetic
engineering. The products of this process are known as
genetically modified organisms. There are advantages and
disadvantages of the particular kind of agricultural
commodities.
One advantage is that these crops are very resistant to the worst
climatic conditions possible. Additionally, these crops cannot
be attacked by any pest at all. Therefore the product expected is
usually to the maximum. Food security and farmers income are
improved. The amount of food produced is high. With increased
production and decreased the cost of pesticides the farmer's
income is also increased thus his life standards also increased.
As the law of supply and demand stands increased food supply
due to the use of genetically modified crops and animals, it
means that the price of food stuff will decrease. New plants and
animals have to get established. A good example was a baby
ship called Dolly that got cloned. The opposition against
genetically modified foods is brought about by the uncertainties
that people have developed towards it. One is that upon taking
these foods, one generates antibiotic factors within their bodies.
These antibiotics make our bodies less efficient towards
medication. To other people upon adopting these foods, they
develop chronic allergic reactions especially children foods and
supplements.
Genetically modified foods have never been 100% safe for
human consumption and other species too. Most of these
products may cause illness or death to plants, animals or even
people. A thorough check should always be conducted to ensure
the safety of the product before its release to the market. The
taste of genetically modified foods is frequently poor and
unpleasant. Attributed to the proteins and chemicals added to
the genes of the organism during genetic engineering. Another
serious disadvantage is that of transferring of genes. A pest-
resistant gene may be transferred and combined with weed to

4. create a super weed that cannot be affected by pesticides (
Jouanin et al., 1998).
Genetically modified organisms have been used in agriculture in
the recent years to boost crop production. These crops have a
unique genetic make-up that makes them from natural
cultivation. Biotechnology has been applied to alter their cell
structure through genetic engineering. People have had different
points of view concerning GMOs. There are those who believe
GMOs is the final solution to the terrifying food security issue.
Genetically modified crops are supposed to be pest resistance.
These plants get to have a very active resistance to adverse
weather conditions meaning that upon growing them one is
assured of a good yield.
Since there is no effect of pests on the crops and the crops
cannot succumb to adverse weather condition there is an
assurance of a high yield, and this guarantees food security to
the world especially in the third world nations. The farmer's
cost of production gets reduced, and hence his income by all
means possible is improved. Deforestation is minimized with
GMOs in agriculture since with a small piece of land one can
harvest an enormous produce (
Hertel, 2011).
Without genetically modified organisms, more land gets cleared
for farming meaning that there will be more carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere thus global warming enhanced. We should have
it in mind that global warming has posed to me one of the chief
challenges facing humanity today. Food has become affordable
to many since the supply of food is high due to the high yields
associated with genetic engineering making the price fall.
Additionally is that with genetic engineering, scientists have
been able to discover new types of plants and crops.An example

5. is a particular kind of beans that grows naturally.
Despite their positive impacts, these foods once were taken
make one develop their antibiotic makers within the body.
These antibiotics are responsible for most people not being
productive to medication (
Payne, Gwynn, Holmes & Pompliano, 2007)
Most children also tend to produce allergic reactions once they
take these foods. Another disadvantage is that all species of
living organisms be it animals, plants or human beings one is
always affected by some of these products. They frequently
cause severe illnesses and at times death. The product should
thoroughly test before its release, or else it may cause deaths to
the people.
The natural taste typically lacks in genetically modified crops,
and this is mainly due to the process of genetic engineering that
alters the cell structure of cultivation. Another possible danger
is where some genes get transferred from one species to
another. Scientists argue that in the event a pesticide-resistant
gene is transferred and mixes up with a weed they may for a
complex pesticide resistant weed that cannot get easily killed.
There has always been a furious debate concerning the well -
being of genetically modified foods. One point of concern is
that these foods have the potential of creating their antibiotic
makers. The antibiotics that have found their way into our
bodies will make the body not to cooperate fully with

6. medication in case of illness. Critics should not only focus on
the risk on genetic heritage they should seek to look at the
incredible impacts coupled with the various technological
advances. Moreover, leading to more advancement in helping
the human race through invitro fertilization. Genetic
engineering brings with it better than harm and should need
embracement.
