Global Problems and Their Solutions: Gmo and The Lack of Nutrition

Gene technology can have a positive impact on society? How GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) have a positive nutrition rate impact in the third world country? The theme of Global problems and their solutions is the main topic of this essay which explores how GMOs became a solution for the lack of nutrition as a major global issue in the world.

Introduction and Background Information

According to Rosenberg, Gene technology can be defined as a group of techniques that are used to split and combine together genetic materials, especially DNA from two different organisms. Some of the Gene technologies are Simple Selection, Interspecies Crossing and Embryo Rescue, Genetically Modified Organism and Somatic Hybridization. Paul Berg, American biochemist, is known as “Father of genetic engineering”. He created a way of combining the DNA of two different organisms. In 1973 he experimented this method with monkey virus and lambda phage virus. GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is one of the key aspect of Gene technology. It is an organism which DNA (Deoxyribonucleic) that has been altered or modified using Gene technology. As shown in source bellow by Sydney Lupkin Genetically Modified Organism is high quality due verity of nutrition altered or modified through Gene Technology. Nutrition is a major global problem but highly in third world countries. Golden Rice is a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism that has a positive nutrition rate impact on in third world countries.

Golden Rice is a GMO gene technology which is genetically customised to supply and impact the nutrition rate in third world war country. According to MyMy Golden Rice can be helpful as it supplies vitamin A and b-carotene. Sciences and research have discovered that big amount vitamin and minerals of consumption reduces risks of following diseases; specific cancers, coronary artery disease and macular degeneration. According to Dr Peter Engel b-carotene is the key secure nutritional etymology Vitamin A important for eyesight, immune system, healthy skin and growth and development. Vitamin A is fat-soluble that is normally contained in numerous nourishments. Information from US department informs that this vitamin is highly necessary normal for eyesight, reproduction and immune system. Additionally, it also supports kidneys, heart, lungs and many more organs function correctly. There is two variety of Vitamin A, preformed vitamin a and provitamin a. Preformed vitamin a is available in fish, meat poultry and dairy products. The other one provitamin a is available in vegetable, fruits and other plants.

Justifying Scientific Arguments Using Evidence

Lack of nutrition in third world war countries is one of the main global complication and now has influenced all the countries across the world. Record and statistics on this source above show that there are 150.8 million stunted children in total (aged 0-59 months), 50.5 million wasted children, 38.3 million overweight children. Research shows that destine for ending malnutrition is not late, reacting now could possibly bring it to an end. According to the Oxford Dictionary malnutrition is defined as insufficiency of accurate nutrition generated by not having right amount to eat, not consuming necessary amount of the correct things and not being able to use the food that one dose eats. Symptoms and side effect of malnutrition involve: depression, insufficiency desire in foods, fatigue, weight loss, dizziness, high risk of getting sick, longer healing duration. Kids might experience; anxiety, insufficiency of growth, short temper, slow behaviour and mental growth most likely generating learning difficulties. Source shown below informs that malnutrition can cause physical or mental disorder.

Conclusion

Statistics and facts from the research have proven that lack of nutrition is a major global issue. It has also demonstrated that reacting now could possibly solve this global problem. Gen technology could have crucial impact, scientist have created Golden Rice using GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). This creation Golden Rice could ameliorate the lack of nutrition rate. Additionally, it can have numerous benefits in agriculture, pest control, human development and health. Pest resistant crops needing less spraying; growing the crops healthy, saving time and cost of the chemically. Following Facts, Research and Investigation has proven that Golden Rice created using GMO from Gene Technology dose have positive impact in third world countries.
