Food Evolution Student Worksheet
Genetically modified organisms -- corn, soy, and papaya, have been legal to use in the United States for decades. A lot of questions are still being raised, however, about whether the use of these crops is really beneficial and if it carries risks to our health and the environment. Food Evolution is the most balanced documentary I've seen on the issue of GMOs that explains the technology, acknowledges the concerns, and addresses some of the pseudoscience behind the anti-GMO movement.
Essential concepts:Plant agriculture, genetically modified organisms, integrated pest management, pesticide and herbicide use.
Answer Key: Included as part of the environmental science instructor resources subscription page.
