14. PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
A rather interesting read on a different perspective on GMO. Presents GMO from a
practical/business view where feeding the population takes precedence while
managing to make money along the way
However it is rather bias as the article fails to underscore the negative impacts of
GMO

are indeed the solution to
a more consistent supply
of food for the future?
If No, should GMO crops
