GMO

Title:
GMO
Description:

GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms. They are created when scientists take DNA from one plant species and add it to the DNA of another and they're probably already in what you eat and what you wear. Jessica Lundberg of Northern California's Lundberg Family Farms advocates initiatives that would impose mandatory labeling of food products using GMO ingredients because she believes consumers have the right know what's in their food.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) -- GMOs (or "genetically modified organisms") are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). This relatively new science allows DNA from one species to be injected into another species in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.

NON-GMO -- Freedom from the intellectual property restraints imposed by GMO seed companies allows farmers to maintain full control of their farm's ecosystem, from choosing which varieties of seeds to grow (like Black Japonica) to preserving a healthy chemical-free foundation for wildlife (like pheasant and waterfowl).

Genetically Engineered (GE) -- GE describes the high-tech methods used in recent decades to incorporate genes directly into an organism. The only way scientists can transfer genes between organisms that are not sexually compatible is to use recombinant DNA techniques. The plants that result do not occur in nature; they are 'genetically engineered' by human intervention and manipulation
