By obtaining changes on gene sequences of living things with the applied
biotechnological methods; The idea of “Genetically Modified Organisms
(GMO)”, which aims to bring the living creature in question the original
gene combinations with the desired characteristics, came to life in the
late twentieth century. Despite the high probability that hunger problems
may increase with the increasing world population; It is thought that plant
breeding with classical farming methods will be insufficient in solving
these problems. With various GMO applications developed all over the
world, it aims to produce solutions to these problems. With the presence
of GMO, it was possible to increase the shelf life of qualitative and quantitative values of the existing foods. In addition, decreases in agricultural
use of pesticides used in agricultural struggle and threatening human
health with GMO production are noteworthy. However, some concerns
about anomalies that may occur in living things fed GMO products remain on the agenda. Because, in the long term, there is no clear and precise information that GMO will not have negative effects on living things;
There are many recorded incidents showing their negative effects.
