Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

This book explores the fascinating world of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), revealing how science, agriculture, politics, and economics intersect to shape our food system. It explains the origins of GMOs, from early genetic research to modern breakthroughs like CRISPR, and discusses their different types and applications in crops, animals, and microorganisms.

The book highlights how GMOs are used worldwide to increase food production, fight pests, and address climate challenges, but also examines concerns about environmental impacts, biodiversity loss, and corporate control. It delves into the motives behind GMO development—profit, market dominance, and political interests—and explores the influence of major corporations and regulations across the globe.

With insights into future trends like synthetic biology, as well as the ethical, ecological, and societal debates, this book offers a clear, compelling overview of how GMOs are transforming food production and what it means for our future.
