Food Evolution Reflection Paper

Introduction

The film comes at a time when the debate over the safety and availability of food to feed

the global masses is raising more controversy than agreement. One of the main issues under

heavy scrutiny is the place and acceptance of the genetically modified foods. While some

scientists and the international corporations in the agriculture sector have embraced the GMO

concept and are rigorously advocating for its implementation, the other masses, who have no

much knowledge about the GMO, have looked at this new technology with cynical

appreciation. The GMO has generated much negative publicity, positive and negative. The

opponents of the use of GMO have always connected the GMO with the increase in strange

terminal illnesses while the proponents have embraced it as the only solution to the

humankind’s food requirements

The film’s guiding thesis

The film has attempted to address the GMO debate through an objective, scientific and

data-based evaluation. It looks at both sides of the discussion and makes a case for the use of

GMO food while refuting the negative perception toward the modified foods by using

scientific evidence from data and commentaries by scientists. The film portrays the GMO’s as

the solution to the challenges facing the world’s ability to feed its inhabitants.

The environmental risks addressed by the film

The film emphasizes the threats to the human’s food security arising from the already

evident climate change. In the movie, the risk of climate change is presented as a threat

having the potential of affecting the food production and the production patterns. The climate

change has the potential of altering the quality and quantity of foods produced by the farmers

in almost every region of the earth[CITATION Och16 \p 74 \l 1033 ]. While in some areas the

productivity may increase due to change in weather, the same change will have drastic effects

in some regions of the earth[CITATION Qai13 \p 4 \l 1033 ]. The climate change will bring

about prolonged drought in some areas forcing the population to starve and run out of food

options.

The film raise the threat to the environment posed by the increasing deforestation in the

most significant natural forest. Forests have a direct connection with agricultural production

as they assist in the hydrological cycle. Increased deforestation to satisfy the human need for

land and lumber has continued to distort the hydrological cycle causing a significant shortage

of rain in the rain-dependent areas. Water towers in the forests have been drying up causing

the rivers down streams to dry up or have low water levels[CITATION Dun12 \p 2 \l 1033 ].

In the end, the availability of food drastically reduces, posing a significant threat to the food

security of many nations.

The film’s boldest or most controversial claims raised.

Amidst all the environmental threats posed by the human activities that have a direct

impact on the food security, the film boldly proposes the GMO as the only solution to survive
