Besides biotechnology, another technology that seems to have the greatest potential positive effect on food security is Genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is the process by which genetic material in a living organism is changed by the use of recombinant DNA. During this process, genes of the organism are manipulated.
The potential negative uses of biotechnology is: bio ethical issues, due to usage of Genetically modified plants various types cancers are developing in people, increased resistance in pathogens due to exposure of antibiotics, by consuming GMO products our immunity is getting compromised to various infections, in females irregular menstrual cycles and various types of breast and cervical cancers are becoming common in these days, finally our bodies are getting sensitive and cannot cope with current climatic conditions due to consumption of Genetically altered foods.
Yes, in my opinion, I do think that the benefits of these technologies outweigh the potential negative consequences they have on food security. The reason I say yes is because world hunger and food insecurity is a recurring problem in most parts of the developing world. Biotechnology can help solve world hunger.
