Herbicides

Knoblock is just one of many farmers seeing a huge difference in switching from feeding their livestock from GM filled food to natural grown Non-GM food. Steve Tusa, a farmer who raises cattle in Minnesota, has witnessed many improvements after making the switch. Tusa had many deaths in the past of his cattle because of digestive problems caused by their old GM filled diet, but since the switch, the percent of deaths have decreased fifty percent. Tusa now grows approximately 1400 Non-GM crops…

defoliants used by U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War to eliminate forest cover for North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops, as well as crops that might be used to feed them. The U.S. Operation Ranch Hand, sprayed more than 19 million gallons of herbicides over 4.5 million acres of land in Vietnam from 1961 to 1972. The chemical was later revealed to have huge serious health issues, including tumours, birth defects, rashes, psychological symptoms and cancer. Both sides of the war were…

The basis of our daily diet comes from our geographic location, religious and political upbringing and our genetics. Our food choices are constantly dictated by our surroundings, the economy and warfare. As Americans we are influenced greatly by the media and advertisements all around us, all claiming to have the best tasting foods for the lowest prices. Our choices are made with our wallet and our taste buds most of all, instead of our stomach like in most developing countries. It is not…

Why would farmers go back in time from all of the developments in technology, and advancements that have come along in agriculture industry? That would be like telling one of today’s farmers to get rid of his brand new John Deere tractor that is equipped with auto steer and heated seats, and go back to a horse drawn plow. In a way this is what the push for non GMO products are doing to farmers. One of the largest debates in today’s agriculture, is it effective to plant non GMO crops. Will…

Everything that people eat has been genetically ameliorated or modified in some way; ten centuries ago our predecessors took bad corn and crossed these to create diverse sorts of corn mixtures so they could collect them better. It has been argued (Ronald 2015) that the ancient Greeks expounded on uniting - connecting the stem of one plant to the bases of another. The particular abilities of modern Transgenic modification were developed and produced in California four decades ago. Genetically…

by using genetically modified foods also known as GMOs, which defined by The World Health Organization (WHO) as organisms whose DNA has been altered in a non-natural way. GM plants are usually modified to be insect resistant, virus resistance, or herbicide tolerant. There are many pros and cons about GMOs. The start of GMOs can positively or negatively affect America depending on which aspects you want to focus on, but when you look at the overall picture GMOs are negatively affecting the United…

States utilized a group of herbicides which became known as the “Rainbow Herbicides" (Murray 2005) These chemicals, prefixed with "agent" named for their color, were stored in 55 gallon metal barrels with a simple, color-coded strip to designate the contents, of all the "agents", Agent Orange was the most extensively utilized, with 150,000 gallons being sprayed each at the height of the conflict. The United States government officially dismissed claims that herbicides were harmful to human…

What are GMO 's? The world is constantly changing. Humans have been modifying the world to meet their needs for thousands of years. Recent technological developments have allowed these changes to take place at a much more rapid pace. Man is now able to view and analyze the genetic makeup of organisms. With this ability, scientists can change the genes of an organism by transferring genes from another organism, modifying the organism 's traits to meet needs. Much debate exists on whether or not…

Science Assignment Due date: 26th February 2018 By: Erick Mengel Valdez Baca Claim: Genetic modification of crops has improved the food industry Rationale: Genetically modifying crops was created to improve their germplasm for the best possible crops. One of the most heavily modified crop is the soybean, since 1996 they have been changed to create larger yield for famers and higher resistance to insects, drought, etc. GMO Soybeans has improved the food industry because of the higher yield…
