Has the world’s food supplies kept up with population growth? Yes, because of improvements in farm production from technological advances, GMOs and the Green Revolution

What are GMOs? Genetically Modified Organisms

The development and distribution of GMOs are referred to as the GREEN REVOLUTION

From 1950’s – 1970’s Research, development and distribution of hybrid “miracle” varieties of high yield cereal grains like wheat & rice

Green Revolution Pros Grow faster Multiple yields (3 or 4 times greater) Increase quality of food Increase tolerances to disease, pests and weeds Reduction of biodiversity Cons Expensive seeds Some require more fertilizer, water and pesticides Increase of class disparities Health impacts from increased pesticides & fertilizers

Homework Is genetic engineering safe? Why or why not?

How many hungry people are in the US ? The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that in million people living in food insecure households 16.7 million are children
