We Are All Going To Starve

Well...us Brits anyway

GM Crops Article

A recent and major study has made the conclusion that Britain will suffer a major food crisis by 2050.

I have never understood the opposition to GM food.

Previous plans to grow GM crops commercially in the UK had to be scrapped following a concerted campaign by environmental protesters and a backlash by consumers who refuse to eat so-called 'Frankenstein foods'.
Only one GM crop, a type of maize engineered by the American agricultural biotech firm Monsanto, has even been approved for planting in the European Union. It is currently farmed commercially – albeit on a relatively small scale – in Spain. But outside the Europe Union GM crops are grown on as much as 125 million hectares of land, mainly in north and South America and the Indian subcontinent.

I do not understand why people have failed to adopt such innovations in food. They should be used to their full potential, they could help ease starvation in countries where crops are hard to grow or keep fresh.

So my question is 'Do you think GM foods should be utilized and developed further?' and 'why/why not'
