12 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983

13 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983 GM foods were on the supermarket shelves by 1994

14 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983 GM foods were on the supermarket shelves by 1994 GM crop coverage presently 50 million hectares worldwide

15 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983 GM foods were on the supermarket shelves by 1994 GM crop coverage presently 50 million hectares worldwide In the US and Canada 33 million worldwide

16 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983 GM foods were on the supermarket shelves by 1994 GM crop coverage presently 50 million hectares worldwide In the US and Canada 33 million worldwide Argentina 7m China 1m Australia 1

17 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983 GM foods were on the supermarket shelves by 1994 GM crop coverage presently 50 million hectares worldwide In the US and Canada 33 million worldwide Argentina 7m China 1m Australia 1 Mainly: maize, soya bean, oilseed rape and potatoes

18 Genetic Technology (GM) The first biotechnology plants were developed in 1983 GM foods were on the supermarket shelves by 1994 GM crop coverage presently 50 million hectares worldwide In the US and Canada 33 million worldwide Argentina 7m China 1m Australia 1 Mainly: maize, soya bean, oilseed rape and potatoes So far 5000 full trials and 24000 field trials carried out

20 Another major problem: 40% of the world exist on rice Traditional edible rice contains no carotenoids This results in Vit A deficiency which can result in 1.Permanent blindness 2.Respiratory infections 3.Diarrhoea 4.Measles 5.Growth problems Two genes from the daffodil which code for the enzymes which produce beta carotenoid can be inserted into rice DNA which then grows containing beta carotene
