18. Agricultural Biotechnology Part IV. The Ethics of Agriculture NQ
The world population is now 7 billion, and will become 9 billion during the coming generation. World population is growing faster than increases in food supplies and water and arable land are becoming limiting. Over 90% of the population increases will occur in the cities of developing countries. 40000 people die from starvation each day; 1000000 people die from vitamin A deficiency each year; Who will feed these people? The Northern hemisphere? or themselves? Can biotechnology be used to feed the world? Should biotechnology be used to feed the poor? These are just some of the questions regarding the implementation of global agricultural biotechnology. it has been said however, that \"It is imperative that the impediments now obstructing innovations in these critical areas be examined, and those that cannot be justified must be removed\".From:Albert KauschViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:10:08More inScience Technology<\/p>\n
