Positives of GMO'S
Pest And Disease Resistant
Genetically modified organisms (GMO's) are an excellent way to provide a better future for the worlds food security by creating pest and diseases resistant food. The Rainbow papaya is an example of a food that has become pest and disease resistant. The Rainbow Papaya fruit was threatened by a disease called Papaya Ring spot Virus. The Papaya was genetically modified so that it was immune to this disease. This diseases was found on a Hawaii island, and the people tried moving the growth of the papaya to a different island but the disease followed. So Biotechnology created a papaya that was immune to this disease and now 70% of the Papaya grown in Hawaii is Genetically modified.
