The GMO Story.
One of the most polarizing issues in our world lately has been about GMOs - Genetically Modified Organisms.
It's more important than ever that you stay safe.
And so, it's time you learned the truth about them.
Welcome to "The GMO Story".
The advocacy group for GMOs and organics.
Who we are
Primarily, we are a non-profit dedicated to general awareness of the advantages of disadvantages in the context of genetically-modified products in a global context.
What does that mean, you ask? Well, it means that we spread knowledge and analysis about the true nature of GM products and organics in 4 different subtopics: Sustainability, Politics, Ecology, and Science.
Every day for the next ~week, you'll be exposed to deep concepts about some of the industry, like CRISPR and Gene splicing, the history behind GMOs, the economic side of things, and much, much more through bite-sized posts, detailing everything in a simple manner, along with sources.
However, this isn't the only place for you to get information. We run an Instagram account, where we post tidbits about the industry, as well as a Twitter account.
Latest from the blog:
Although the technology of GMOs have been around for decades, there still remains much to be learned.
