GMFs Solves, how? Does not solve, how/why?
Hunger
 Increases food supply by being able
to be grown throughout the year eg
tomatoes
 Increases food supply by being
designed to be pest resistant hence
less destruction of crops due to pest
attacks
 Food can be designed to be kept
fresh over a longer period, lesser
food wastage due to spoiling
 Much crops especially large
supplies due to GM seeds used
instead for industrial purposes eg
corn, soy beans instead of
feeding the hungry hence hunger
problem still prevalent
Malnutrition
 Increases nutrient intake eg Golden
Rice infused with Vitamin A which is
found to be lacking in Asian diet,
hence improving the food intake of
Asians
 Risks of triggering allergic
reactions as it is not known if
food that looks fine is indeed safe
for consumption
Conclusion

Conclusion  Comparisons based on criterion to address which is ‘best solution to
solve world food problems’
 After surfacing ‘best solution’ briefly explain its shortcomings but also
address how they too, can be overcome and hence, is a viable
solution
