Stefan Paduraru - Food and agriculture

The issue of Genetically Modified Organisms is one of the most divisive debates within the talks on the future of environmental protection. On the one hand, many fear the consequences of these new biological strains and the threat they carry of contaminating our food supply. On the other hand, they can play a vital role in the quest of finding enough resources in order to feed an ever increasing population. In my paper i argued that they would have, if used under strict scientific supervision and if properly investigated, a beneficial role on the planet's future, allowing for a better allocation of our natural endowment and alleviating some of the pressure on the supply side of agricultural products.
