What is genetic engineering?•Genetic makeup of
cells is changed. •To produce new
organisms, the genes are moved from one species to another.

Why•Benefits
•Enhance a species
•Convenience

Beneficial •BP1: Farmers
▫Financially▫Efficiently
•BP2: Replenishes food supply
•BP3: Wider variety of food

Thesis•Genetic engineering is beneficial because
it helps farmers in different ways, even financially, increases the amount of food and creates a wider variety of food.

Food supply•Most grown foods
are genetically altered in some way▫Climate
tolerance▫Pets repellants▫Physical changes

GM and Farmers•Saves them money.
▫Gain profit Higher yield=greater profit
•Larger amounts of produce are surviving.▫GM seeds
•Natural pesticides.

GM seeds•Toleration to
environment•Produce natural
pesticides•Inherit and pass on
modified genes▫Physical traits

No need for sprays•Farmers no longer need to spray crops.
▫Can be toxic▫Harmful to environment
•Consumers do not want to eat food that has been treated with pesticides because of potential health hazards.

Replenishes food supply•Greater yield•Larger produce•More surviving•GM solves spoiling issue

Greater selection•GM foods increased the variety and
preference▫Seedless watermelon
•Consumer convenience•Consumer preference

Consumer convenience• Japanese farmers have
forced their watermelons to grow in a square shape by inserting the melons in a square, tempered glass case while the fruit is still growing on the vine
• Seedless watermelons
