Discuss at your table:. Have you eaten any GMO (genetically modified organisms) food today?. GMO Seeds. To make . g. enetically modified seeds, companies manipulate the gene sequence in a plant’s DNA so that it has special traits, such as the ability to tolerate a specific weed killer while the plants around it die. .

The major fruit grown commercially are apples (especially in Hawke’s Bay), kiwifruit (Bay of Plenty), grapes and avocados (Bay of Plenty and Northland). In the years 1975–2000 there was an increase of over four times in the number of trays of pip-fruit exported. Fruit, nut and vegetable exports made up 3% of total exports, the most important component being kiwifruit, followed by apples, legumes and onions.. How can we use our understanding of DNA, genomes, and gene expression to help solve issues in the world? . To what extent SHOULD we apply this knowledge into action?.

As reading, manipulating, and exploiting genetic information becomes easier and cheaper, tools will emerge to control both the access to and the sharing of this information. Following the lead of digital rights management (DRM), genetic watermarks and amino acid safety locks will become the cornerstones of an increasingly controversial practice of genetic rights management (GRM), designed for both safety and IP control..

White biotechnology as any technology application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use (. The Confédération Paysanne, one of France\'s largest farmers\' unions, has successfully fought against genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but unlike other allied movements, theirs has been led by producers rather than consumers. In Food, Farms, and Solidarity, Chaia Heller analyzes the group\'s complex strategies and campaigns, including a call for a Europe-wide ban on GM crops and hormone-treated beef, and a protest staged at a McDonald\'s. Her study of the Confédération Paysanne shows the challenges small farms face in a postindustrial agricultural world. Heller also reveals how the language the union uses to argue against GMOs encompasses more than the risks they pose emphasizing solidarity has allowed farmers to focus on food as a cultural practice and align themselves with other workers. Heller\'s examination of the Confédération Paysanne\'s commitment to a vision of alter-globalization, the idea of substantive alternatives to neoliberal globalization, demonstrates how ecological and social justice can be restored in the world.
