    This infographic was very captivating and well-organized. I never really understood what the term genetically modified organisms meant. I put produce that was genetically modified, fertilized, and conditioned with pesticides in the same category because they were all presumed to be inorganic. It was helpful to learn that GMO’s have been in use for decades and that they have no harmful effects on humans. I like how there is an evolutionary timeline for the use of GMOs throughout history and how modern technology, such as CRISPR, can revolutionize how to produce, taste, and obtain a higher nutritional value.

  • This article provided a balanced and informative look at GMOs throughout history. I really liked how it connected the science with real-world applications, from early crop modifications to future innovations. The writing was clear and engaging, making a complex subject easy to understand. It’s a great resource for anyone curious about the role of GMOs in our food system!

    This is so interesting! I didn’t realise GMO’s included selective breeding, I thought it was only the biologically modified stuff in labs

  • This infographic does a nice job explaining the history and future of GMOs in a way that’s easy to follow. I didn’t realize how common genetically modified foods are in the U.S. today, especially with crops like corn and soy. The part about CRISPR and using GMOs to help with climate change was interesting and shows how the technology could be used for more than just farming efficiency. It makes you think about how much science is behind what we eat.
