Biotech Food
Biotech food, also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), refers to food products that have been altered using biotechnology. This process involves changing the DNA of plants or animals to enhance certain traits, such as resistance to pests, improved nutritional content, or increased yield. Common examples include Bt corn, which is engineered to resist insect damage, and Golden Rice, enriched with vitamin A.
The use of biotech food aims to address challenges in agriculture, such as food security and environmental sustainability. While some people support biotech food for its potential benefits, others raise concerns about safety, environmental impact, and ethical considerations surrounding genetic modification.
