Assume that your home country’s Agriculture Department is debating whether to permit the use of a new form of genetically modified tomato plants that grow faster and produce more fruit than natural varieties. Write a brief message designed to alert the Agriculture Department to the negatives of allowing the genetically modified tomato plants to be planted.
What will be an ideal response?
genetically modified organisms (GMOs), like these tomatoes, reduce diversity in the food supply. This results in greater vulnerable to diseases and pests. It can also reduce yields. Furthermore, since most GMO plants are sterile, farmers could end up facing a financial burden as they will have to purchase more seeds every year.
