The production of genetically engineered crops involves using complex processes that continuously evolving. As a prerequisite to all engineering practices, DNA that codes for the desired genes and traits must be obtained. This DNA can either come from another host species or be modified within the labratory. Afterwards, one of many techniques is used to insert the genes within the target species. Click here to learn about these fascinating techniques.

Genetically modified crops have innumerable applications in modern agricultural practices. These applications include insect resistant, drought resistant, and disease resistant crops. Crops can also be engineered to exhibit exotic traits using pre-existing genes in other species. Click here to read more about these innovative applications.

Unfortunately, the epidemic of fear has swept across the nation and has stricken a fear of GM foods into the hearts of our people. Common fear-mongering misconceptions of GM foods include the thoughts that GM foods might cause cancer and contain harmful toxins or that they have taken over our grocery stores.

Regulation of GM crops in the United States is divided among three regulatory agencies: the Environmental Projection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Each of these agencies regulates transgenic crops from a different perspective. Click here to further understand the regulations in place.
