Cell Press. (2014, December 16). Can returning crops to their wild states help feed the world?. ScienceDaily. Retrieved March 1, 2015 from www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/12/141216140743.htm
To feed the world’s growing population we will have to find ways to produce more food on less farmland, without causing additional harm to the remaining natural habitat. Michael G. Palmgren and his colleagues suggest that the most efficient way to regain those lost properties is by reinserting good genes back into our crops after isolating them from related plants. Rewilding would allow crop plants to better resist diseases, pests, and weeds. Because crops restored to a more natural state in this manner would be classified as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The plants we eat and depend on are not the same as those originally found in the wild.
It would be good idea to be a good idea to some extent. The crops would be much stronger to fight any diseases that could kill them. That way the farmers aren’t suffering economically. As well for us we wouldn’t be exposed to infected harmful crops. Also, a good thing is that the farmers would have enough crops to bring them profits. The process would still be organic because they wouldn’t be putting harmful chemicals.
