Transgenic crops are genetically modified plants that are used in agriculture. The first crops developed were used for animal or human food and provide resistance to certain pests, diseases, environmental conditions, spoilage or chemical treatments for example resistance to a herbicide.
In my opinion, transgenic crops give both  advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of transgenic crops as food is food can be produce in higher yield due to less crops damaged by insects and disease so the food security is secured as the demand of food is sufficient for all the consumer. Besides, it can decrease the starving rate in the world. Other than that,  the advantage of transgenic crops as food is the nutritional value in food is added due to incorporating additional vitamins into crops. So, transgenic crops can be healthy food to the consumer.
For the disadvantage of transgenic crop as food is the food is not taste as good as non-transgenic crops due to some chemical that was added in the crops. Last but not least, the other disadvantage is, new allergies could be develop to the food as there added material that is not suitable for some people. So, it can be allergic when they consume the transgenic crops as food.

In my opinion, transgenic food brings more advantages than disadvantages in the aspects of to produce higher food productions. Actually transgenic food is known also known as genetically modified food because it is produced by transferring genes between species and that is called transgenic. The advantages of transgenic food is it improves production and raise farmer's income. There are farmers that still practicing traditional process of seeding and cultivation, which required scientific moves for raising their production. Hence, it is one of the moves to enhance the farm production. Other than that, transgenic plant could reduce the use of pesticide and insecticide during farming that might be great moves for the betterment of the food supply.  For instance, in India, they have introduced Bt cotton seeds which has successfully reduced the use of toxic pesticides. They found that Bt cotton produces a common soil bacterium, named Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) which is a natural pest repelling bacteria that is toxic to worms and pests that consequently that can harm the crop but is actually not harmful to humans. Bt is widely sprayed on crops by organic farmers as a pesticides and it has increased the production up to 50 %. Next,
scientist also had shown that by doing genetically bioengineered food, we can feed a rapidly increasing population because it shows dramatically increased yields. For example of food crops that are widely produced through genetic engineering are corn varieties and soybeans. Another advantage of transgenic food is it can be produced more in small area of land. Hence, as a conclusion, I can say that transgenic crops is more beneficial than disadvantages.

In my opinion, transgenic crops have more advantages. Transgenic crops can be defined as the DNA has modified using a genetic engineering techniques. This purpose of transgenic plants is to introduce a new desired traits to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Generally, there are many type of plants have been modified as a transgenic crops such as rice, corn and others.
The advantages of transgenic crops is it can improve the shelf life of the crops. This is because the insertion of  desired genes into the crops can however, modified the DNA of the plant. For instance, the farmers may desired a plant that is disease resistant and with transgenic crops, it can happened. Next, transgenic plants also allow a better way to produce crops that are high in quality and most importantly high nutritional value.
With the increased number of human populations, producing food through genetic engineering can highly secure the food security. Transgenic crops can be functioning the same as the normal crops. Therefore, I believe transgenic crops bring more advantage to us.

In my opinion transgenic food/ crop may have advantages and also disadvantages. Nowadays, many staple foods are derived from genetic engineering. AS for example rice, corn even many vegetables are from transgenic engineering. A manufacturer creates GMOs by introducing genetic material, or DNA, from a different organism through a process called genetic engineering.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages of GMO product. As for Pros, the aim or target to used genatic modification is od course to give food desirable traits such as high of nutrient content or enhance the flavor of the food that good for human health. Other than that, the genetic engineering good for better production since it is making the crop more resistance to disease as they grow and tolerant of the herbicides. All of these will contribute to the society, it is contributing to lower costs for the consumers and ensure society will have access to quality of food.

However, even though all foods from genetically engineered plants on sale are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There are disadvantages of these technology. It may have some allergic reaction to certain people.

Some researchers believe that eating GMO foods can contribute to the development of cancer. They argue that because the disease is caused by DNA mutations, it is dangerous to introduce new genes into the body.

There is concern that genetic modification, which can boost a crop's disease resistance or make it more tolerant to herbicides, may affect people's ability to defend themselves against disease. Other than that,  there is a chance of  outcrossing. Which refers to the risk of genes from certain GMO plants mixing with those of conventional crops. Nevertheless, this GMO is still under on going studies its depend on ourself to take it or leave it.😁✌🏼

In my opinion, transgenic food crops are an advanced technology method such as involved plant resistant to pathogen and increase the amount of food in short time. The advantages of transgenic food crops are helping the farmers to increase more crop yields because of the increases of human population every year. Transgenic crop also reduced the used of pesticide application and can decrease air pollution. In addition, transgenic crop also improves air quality based on releasing trap carbon dioxide in the soil and reduced carbon emissions from the car smoke exhaust. It also can help to reduced water pollution by preventing clogging of water bodies but not for that, transgenic crop also protects land and sustainable food production. The disadvantages of transgenic plant are cause of environmental hazards such as health concerns. Besides that, health effects of consumption and the dose are unknown by process transgenic method. Allergic reaction also happens especially people that didn’t accept the ingredients used. In conclusion, transgenic crop needs to be monitor and more study on the effects in human daily life on food crops.

Gene technology plays important roles in increasing food production.  The vegetables crop helps in ensuring food security which is essential for international peace and sustainability of life.  It is important to fight hunger.  The transgenic crops give a lot of advantages than disadvantages.  Firstly, the transgenic crop can higher the yirld and crop productivity  by controlling losses caused by various insects, disease and abiotic factor.  The more yield of food crops can minimize insufficient food cause in country. Next,  transgenic crop also can helps in improvement in quality of crops.  The quality can be adjusted in term of nutritional quality,  market quality and industrial quality. For example,  transgenic crop in tomatoes plant has undergo gene technology process with help of enzymes for ripening (ethylene forming enzymes)  and polygalactonase to delay the ripening and softening the tomatoes for longer storage.  Other quality improvement can be seen in other transgenic crops like non-browning potatoes,  starch composition of wheat flour and improved in oil content in oilseed crops.  In addition,  transgenic crops give a beneficial for food crops as it can develop in herbucide resistance in cotton,  maize and wheat crop.  Weeds can cause heavy yield losses in crops,  so by using transgenic plants is the cheapest and the best way to overcome this problem.

In my opinion, transgenic plant gives more advantage than disadvantage. Transgenic plant is a breeding technique that use recombinant DNA to create plants with new characteristics. First, transgenic plants improve insect and disease resistance. For example, cotton bollworm resistant cultivars has been develop by transfering a gene from soil bacterium Bt into cotton plants. This way help to reduce amount of insecticidal chemicals used towards cotton plant and it is environmental friendly.

Second, it improve in quality plant production. Using ethylene forming enzymes EFE and polygalactonase in softening helps in delaying ripening process to maintain the market quality for a safe transport and longer storage.

Third, as herbicide resistance. Weed can effect the quality production of plants and cause yield loses. Therefore, gene technology were used to develop herbicide resistant cultivars towards wheat. Glufosinate-resistant lupins were used by farmers in Western Australia to kill ryegrass as it can prohobits early planting of wheat.

Based in my understanding, I would like to say that using transgenic crops as food is an advantages because it will be easier for us to consume just one type of food with all of the needed nutrient by our body is already in it. This can be seen when in future, researchers want to provide medications to people in developing more easily. So, the costs for medicines will be less and everyone in developing country can afford the needed vitamins just by consuming the food because medications incorporated into food are easier to transport and store compared to conventional medicine.

The advancements made with transgenic food have and will continue to have a great impact on the lives of many. Transgenic plants offer a new approach to producing and administering human antibodies. The use of genetic engineering for the production of biopharmaceuticals like erythropoietin to treat anemia and insulin to treat diabetes are well known.

Based on my opinion, using transgenic crops as food is an advantage. Example of transgenic crops are vegetables with higher vitamin E content to fight heart diseases and "golden rice" which contain vitamin A and iron to prevent common nutritional deficiencies. According to a study done, transgenic crops are more tastier compared to normal crop. Since transgenic crops requires less environmental diseases, more resources can be fully utilized. Transgenic crops are more safer because less pesticide and chemicals are involved. Transgenic crops also serve as increased food supply with reduced cost and longer shelf life. As a conclusion, using transgenic crops as foods is advantage.

Transgenic crops aims to introduce a new trait to the plants, meaning that peoples using advance technologies nowadays to create a useful and productive genes in a plant. In my opinion, transgenic crops brings lots of benefit in terms of foods demand. First, transgenic crops will increase crops yields become more consistent and productive. This will allows more people to fed or even improved crops yields at some poor country. By this transgenic crops also, a nutritional values of foods could be improved. The UN Food and Agricultural Organization notes that golden rice had been modified by inserting 3 genes, two from daffodils to have more beta-carotene and the third one from a bacterium. This crops will produce high levels of vitamin A that will helps to reduce global vitamin deficiencies. Thirds, transgenic crops is pest resistance crops meaning that less chemical insecticides are used. Thus, this will minimalize harmful to human. Transgenic crops will helps increased food security for growing population and growth challenges. This will ensure our future generation have sufficient foods supplies and demands. As a conclusion, transgenic crops have the potential to solve many of world’s hunger now or in the future with condition people using it ethically.

Based on my point of view, transgenic plant that produce by tissue culture have so many positive impact towards human and also beneficial towards environment.

Maybe this way having a high risk and costly to perform but we shall focuses more on its benefits. One of the benefits is transgenic crop give an enhancement to plant traits. For example, nutrient content, survivals to wards disease and can be produce in large number.

In environmental terms, we can reduced the uses of pesticide and herbicide which be understand should caused the pollution and harmed another organisms in the biological system.

Last but not least, another positive thoughts on transgenic crop were it can be produce in a very large scale as soon as the culture succeed. This condition could help us on maintaining food resources and never lacked of it which could be affected by the global disaster one day.

Transgenic plant usally done with plant tissue culture for human food source. So in my opinion by using transgenic crops, actually it give positive  important on environmental benefits, such as controlling farm runoff that otherwise pollutes water systems, that water were used for plant growing while health benefits result from reduced pesticide exposure for farmers and rural laborers and lower pesticide residues for consumers.
Next, transgenic crops also involve enhanced quality traits, such as higher nutrient content. “Golden Rice,” one of the very first GM crops, is biofortified to address vitamin A deficiency, a common condition in developing countries that leads to blindness and entails higher rates of child mortality and infectious diseases.
Moreover, transgenic crops can feed a rapidly increasing population because it shows dramatically increased yield and also to ensure the food security in country because seed and  progeny were safely kept for future generation through all the genetically modified.
In conclusion. transgenic crops can enhance food supply and production.

Solely opinion on P13,
[Muhd Naim (S26709)]

The use of transgenic crops as food, well, in my opinion very outstanding good for human civilization while its effect on others living things still in question, whether survival for the fittest or human life matter more that others?. However though we are well aware about the possibility of transgenic crops being eaten, we cannot achieve the best food quality we eat today without these crops, and people around the world probably experience poverty that can cause malnutrition toward human body for years. Thus, these ultimately made it absolute advantage toward human progressive lifestyle since to thinks an unknown side effect of it would be burden since none of this transgenic crop showed reverse effect (bad effect on health) upon it consumption!

Besides that, transgenic crops have increased crop yields especially those BT corn that been enhance it protection from any pest, lessen world expenditure on food or medicine costs, decrease excessive use of pesticides that could harm the food consumer, accelerated the composition of nutrients in fruits , vegetables, and suffice human requirements to keep up with good health.

Furthermore, transgenic crops guaranteed food safety across the world, all transgenic crop seeds and offspring have been stored for good in order to be pass to the future generations by all the genetically engineered features that have been introduced into it and ensure that our crops will be resilience of all the time it could be.

In conclusion, transgenic crops are the revolution in human

cultures, and improved quality in our demand for food. Some may say it would be backfire to us (human) in the future, but once centuries had been taken over for a year, it'' be remembered as greater deed itself. Turned out, it was one way of life changing of a person frankly speaking.

In my opinion utilization of transgenic crop as food is very beneficial towards the human civilization and environment. Even though, we are well known with the risk probability in consumption of transgenic crops however without these crops we can’t achieve the best food quality we eat today, and people around the globe might face scarcity of food. Essentially, transgenic crop increased crop yields, minimize world expenditure on costs of food or medicine production, decrease utilization of pesticides excessively that might harm the food consumer, accelerating the nutrients composition in the fruits, vegetables and adequately fulfil the human requirement in maintaining a good health. Moreover, transgenic crop ensure the food security all around the globe, all the transgenic crop seed and progeny were safely kept for future generation through all the genetically modified characteristics that have been inserted to ensure that our crops could be remain and its also supported the medical benefits that mostly required from remedy crops to improve human health through great compound that have been genetically improved to fulfil the usage and demand of  patients with certain diseases. To conclude, transgenic crop is the revolution in civilizations of human and improved quality in our food demand.
