About 12,000 years ago people were foragers and had to search for their food. They foraged for fish, berries and small animals. Between 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, animal domestication, of sheep and goats, and plant cultivation, of corn and potatoes, began. After that, agriculture and horticulture began, using simple tools to produce crops. Around 200 years ago all people lived on farms and produced their own food by agriculture and eventually pastoralism. Today most of food is produced in industries, few families own farms. New technology has made finding food much easier than it was 12,000 years ago. At the same time, some of the foods are produced with chemicals to keep them fresh, that are not so good for the body.
Many Asian and African countries are involved. French's mustard, Church's Chicken, Trader Joe's and many other companies.
GM stands for genetically modified. GM plants have manipulated genes to be disease resistant and drought tolerant. They are more affordable for the farmers and the consumers.
African farmers think GM foods are not a cure and are not what they need.
Climate change is causing more floods and droughts, which GM foods are good for. More GM foods are being produced.
