Considerations for the Genetic Modificaiton of Wheat

Genetically modified food GM wheat is very important in world food supply. We produce about 600 million tons of wheat annually. For everyone on the planet, this corresponds to an increase of 90 kg. Septoria, Fusarium, and common shorts are fungal diseases that are often a problem for wheat growers. These fungal diseases spread rapidly when symptoms are mild and damp. These are just a few of the factors that affect wheat. As fertilizer and agricultural chemicals are heavily used, the growth of wheat has a big influence on the environment and material circulation.

"GMO causes an increase in celiac disease and gluten intolerance." The truth is that there is nothing like "genetically GM wheat". Since the beginning of agriculture, wheat has been changed by human hands. The only change being made is by natural breeding. Not bioengineering - ie. Insertion or deletion of gene "Monsanto earns billions of dollars from poor farmers" This is wrong! Golden rice is distributed free of charge to self-sufficient farmers. Monsanto is one of the first companies that granted free licenses to Golden Rice. Cut off profit is $ 10,000 - if farmers earn over $ 10,000 a year, they will buy seeds.

Many of Monsanto's agricultural seed products are genetically engineered, including herbicide tolerance such as glyphosate and dicamba. Monsanto claims glyphosate tolerance round up lady. Monsanto introduced this system (planting glyphosate resistant seeds, then applying glyphosate after plant emergence) and increased farmer production by planting together. Without it, farmers must separate the lines far enough to control weeds after development by mechanical agriculture. This technology is widely used by farmers. For example, more than 80% of rapeseed from corn (Mon 832), soybean (MON - Ø 4 Ø 32 - 6), cotton, sugar beet, American are tolerant to glyphosate. Monsanto developed the Roundup Ready GM wheat (MON 71800), but was ended in 2004 as the overseas market concerned concerned wheat exporters rejecting GM wheat.
