Our path is laid out: we must keep pace with technology. Is it imperative to adopt GM crops? "Marching to same beat the world or go our way? Many concerns appear in the panorama of farmers and also the consumer, different voices emerge wondering if we are prepared, if there will be negative consequences for the future.
Over time, the concern to improve food crops has been constant. I remember my surprise when I discovered that eating a tangerine (mandarin orange) or grafted with soursop custard, delicious fruit. For me it was fascinating to know this information, despite my ignorance of the agricultural world, except my brief experience during large garden where I was doing a graft. He dreamed then with modifications I could do with plants, somehow we all have a little love for the land. Where once there were great efforts to improve land and products, give vitamins to others, to apply biotechnology to improve plant as noted by the FAO statement on biotechnology. The road had to continue to wake up one of those days one gets up thinking is it true? What will happen?, These awakenings have been repeated throughout history no doubt.
world is fueled by products made in the laboratory, with modifications that went beyond the agency plants: changes in molecular structure, understandable or not a student of 3 rd high school is expedient in chemistry and genetics, in ordinary language: imagine that the apple bite carries a gene for chicken or a spider gene in tomatoes in your salad. And all this to improve the product, eliminate pests, increase productivity, meet the demands of a growing society and selective consumption of food. The world needs more food to not die and, apparently, the answer is: GM.
would be wrong to accept GM food is synonymous with "wonder food saving the world." There are serious warnings about the growing use of seeds GM: The potential impact on the health of consumers and the resulting ecological response. Results can only be known over time, comes to mind a comment I heard on a trip to the old continent is the Swiss cows had changed its waste by adding vegetarian animals to their new diet, the result was very good apparently, cows yielding more milk and faster. But, then again to let them graze naturally evil, fearing mad cow disease that spreads precisely between 2000 and 2001 in Europe, "the result of manipulation? "Indeed it can be improved? Are the risks of technology?. It seems that nature has its own answers.
In this context "Peru is prepared to take the plunge? Recently issued a news realizing transgenic maize crops in a province of Lima, the emphasis was noted in the regulations for use. The rules and how farmers are prepared to respect them without involving future risks. But it is not the only obstacle as indicated by the minister A. Brack: the high cost of seeds the farmer would create economic dependency and backwardness in those unable to obtain them, "the future of Peru is the production of organic food." Offering the world this identification we help rendered to grow or finish technology. Urge itself a clear regulatory and information to choose what we eat.
The challenge this time is given, move forward in light of technology gradually and responsibly adopting GM crops, now can not stay behind the development, if the world demand, set the pace, the response of our country must be responsible in the face of an FTA with the U.S. and other countries, considering the care harmonious nature. The road should be opened gradually, and there is a commitment made by Peru and other countries (in Bonn, the German town) in the regulation of these crops with regulations this we must add internal training of farmers and the necessary communication to the consumer. Illustrating
modern world, witnessing the recreation of the famous fable of the grasshopper and the ant, modern, indeed. While the cricket chat and music down-nobody would believe their ability to give more, the ant it was wise to select grains, the best to save as provisions. But the cicada surfer and had the new formula foods that do not degenerate, their own culture, at any time of year. This time the ant was at a disadvantage, the cicada could not win, I had very bad reputation. If every time she had demands and fears about to food, this has also its challenges: as a country we have to face the domestic and external demand. Only this way we hope that covers the food and stay away forever the specter of hunger and procrastination. Peru: a future with quality food.
