How many people understand exactly what GM technology means? At the moment, there is a lot of controversy about GM foods. Basically, in all types of GM technology scientists take a gene from a plant or animal and they put it into a different plant ot animal. In this way, they create new organisms - these can resist diseases - farmers grow more crops with GM technology, and these crops stay fresh for a long time. GM technology is good for the environment, too. The crops don't need a lot of pesticides, fertilizers and water to grow. In poor countries, where millions of people are dying of hunger, a samll amount of land can produce a large amount of very nutritious food. So, why is there all this alarm about GM technology? What other consequences does human interference with Nature create?
