This document discusses genetically modified (GM) foods. GM foods are foods that have had genes altered through genetic engineering to exhibit desirable traits. Reasons for genetic modification include getting desired phenotypes in crops, reducing pesticide and herbicide use, improving crop quality, and easing world hunger. The process involves isolating the gene for a desired trait from one organism and inserting it into the genome of a crop plant. Potential advantages are disease and drought resistance, increased nutrition, and pharmaceutical uses. However, disadvantages include potential environmental and human health risks, economic concerns, and discouraging other inventions. The document concludes that government regulation of GM foods is needed and that consumers, governments, and scientists should weigh the benefits against the costs on a case
Genetically modified foods or GM foods, also known as genetically engineered foods, bioengineered foods, genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering.

Any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or those plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth is called Food. With the huge increasing population of the world, food production from natural resources could not meet their needs. So researchers move to produce more food using molecular-level techniques. This type of food is called genetically modified food (GM food), whose genetic material has been altered which is not present already in nature. GM food is made to increase nutrient content by alternation, has many advantages for humans as it increases the nutritional content and formation of pest, drought, herbicide, and cold resistant plants. But at the same time, it has negative impacts also. It is genetically unsafe, causing organ damage and allergic reactions in the digestive tract. The researchers are trying to do their best to produce crops with their desired characteristics by using molecular-level techniques.
This presentation shows the importance of choosing safe food and becoming aware of modified which might be hazard to your heath, you will know exactly what GMF is.
Genetically modified food or GM food is a very popular name nowadays. its been popular because of its controversy. Some scientists support this technology and some don't. That's why this slide showing it why it is controversial. this presentation contains information about GM food, its use, its benefit, its harmfulness and although why we should use this technology.

This is a useful presentation to understand what is genetically modified Food (GMO), where did it start, how different countries have responded, Pros & cons of GMO and what should be your stance. Hope you find this useful.
THIS PRESENTATION IS MAINLY ON THE EFFECTS, AVAILABILITY, STATUS, SAFETY, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF GM CROPS IN MODERN LIFE. IT WILL HELP MANY STUDENTS TO STUDY ON THIS TOPIC IN FUTURE.

gene incorporation is gaining attention across the globe with the aim of improving plant health, crop protection, and sustainable crop production. This versatile method of Scientific cultivation should be adopted by the growers as it has been investigated and assessed by experts and environmentalists. There is not any kind of toxic effect on mammalian.

Ang Chong Yi Navigating Singaporean Flavors: A Journey from Cultural Heritage...Ang Chong Yi
In the heart of Singapore, where tradition meets modernity, He embarks on a culinary adventure that transcends borders. His mission? Ang Chong Yi Exploring the Cultural Heritage and Identity in Singaporean Cuisine. To explore the rich tapestry of flavours that define Singaporean cuisine while embracing innovative plant-based approaches. Join us as we follow his footsteps through bustling markets, hidden hawker stalls, and vibrant street corners.
At Taste Of Middle East, we believe that food is not just about satisfying hunger, it's about experiencing different cultures and traditions. Our restaurant concept is based on selecting famous dishes from Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, and other Arabic countries to give our customers an authentic taste of the Middle East
2. What is GM Food?
Foods containing an added gene sequence.
Foods having a deleted gene sequence.
Animal products from animals fed GM feed.
Products produced by GM organisms.
3. Why are foods genetically modified?
In order to get desired phenotypes.
To reduce strain on nonrenewable resources.
For reducing use of pesticides and herbicides.
For improving crops quality.
To improve nutritional quality.
Easing of world hunger.
4. How can DNA be moved from one organism to
another in GM food preparation process?
Find an organism with the desired trait.
Isolate the gene sequence that codes for the desired
trait.
Insert the gene sequence into the genome of the plant
cell.
Allow the genetically altered cell to grow into a plant.
Allow the plant to propagate.
5. Diagram of moving of DNA from one organism
to another in GM food preparation process
6. Examples of GMOs
Golden rice – rice that contains beta-carotene (Vitamin A), which is not
found in regular rice.
Bt corn – corn that contains a chemical normally found in a bacterium
(Bacillus thuringiensis) that is toxic to insects but not to humans.
Herbicide resistant plants.
7. Advantages of GM Foods
Disease resistance: 1.Viruses, fungi, bacteria plant diseases
Drought resistance: 1.More population ↑ land for housing, ↓ land for
farming 2.Land unsuited for plant cultivation Africa, dessert 3.GM crops grow in
draughts or ↑ salt-content soil
Nutrition: 1.Single crop (rice) cannot give all the nutrition needed. Lack vitamin
A blindness 2.GM food: golden rice has Vitamin A (beta-carotene) 3.GM food: with
enhanced iron
Pharmaceuticals: 1.Edible vaccines in tomatoes and potatoes 2.Easier to
ship, store, administer than traditional injections
Improved crop quality: 1.Development of frost resistant crops
2.Development of disease resistant crops 3.Development of flood resistant crops
8. Disadvantages of GM Foods
Environmental hazards: It can affect the environment by
creating unknown substance which are very harmful to our country as
well as a big threat to our environment of the whole world.
Human health risks: 1.Allergenicity 2.We already have allergies
to peanuts and other foods… 3.Introducing gene may create more
allergies 4.Unknown effects on human health.
Economic concerns: 1.Lengthy and costly process 2.Farmers
from developing countries cannot afford 3.More gap between rich and
poor
Other invention discouraged/stopped:
1.Suicide gene technology 2.Only one growing per season 3.Next time
would produce sterile seeds that do not germinate
9. Government agencies should regulate GM foods.
GM foods in the United States are required to be
labeled only if the nutritional value is changed or
a new allergen is introduced.
Creating a balance.
Consumers, the government and scientists should
be responsible for weighing the benefits against
the costs.
So are GM foods a good or bad thing?
It depend on each individual case.
10. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR HAVING
PATIENCE & SUPPOTING US.
