Bioengineering for food

Health Benefits

With bioengineering, we can create foods that have lower amounts of unnecessary fats. Ex. Desserts that aer guilt free

Might lead to a revision within the food pyramind becasue some fruits, vegetables etc. might be needed in lesser doses or more of an area would be more beneficial.

Greater amounts of elements that benefit our immune system eliminating the need for vitamin supplemets because our food will give the right amount needed on a daily diet.

Food Benefits

Crossing various plants might lead to disease resisitant crops eliminating the need for pesticides to be spread

Variety in foods, which can lead to the creation of new foods ( ex. Seedless watermelons )

Vegetables and fruits that have a greater shelf life. With Bioengineering we can prolong the expiration date on fruit, and avoid browning os some foods

Agriculture

Better crops, means more work for the farmers which means a greater margin in profits

The cattle would benefit, meaning leaner and less fattier meats because wheats and oats could be enhanced to give the cattle more nutrients. ( An increase within the protien consumption )

Crop rotation might change, allowing for the growth of some crops to become year round
