Agricultural Interlude

As I discussed in the previous post, agriculture is a huge part in the human population discussion. The global food security is highly threatened without any major changes. Agriculturists must utilize advances in science and technology to improve yields, but also develop ecologically friendly techniques of cultivation.

As a Biological Systems Engineering major, I am also interested in GM crops. From other classes, I have learned the benefits of GM crops, from increasing nutritional components to improving crop yields (central for population growth) . However, GM crops remain a sticky topic for most humans across the world. As a result, I have decided to have a second agricultural post, focusing more on GM technology.
