Document Summary

Populations growth = increase food demand = less land for agriculture = scarce natural resources other organisms. No, there has been other changes in the agricultural process. Not quite sure what the outcome will be with the traditional plant breeding (unpredictable) No, plants engineered in the lab are not the only gmos You are more likely to find gmos in a box of mac and cheese.

A seed vault is a fail proof seed storage facility, built to stand the test of time and.
