Abstract:
-Background
GMO are genetically modified organisms that are used in agriculture and food
industry to produce plant and animal varieties that have better yield and resistance to diseases
and environmental change. This aspect has helped significantly to address the challenges
faced by the food and agricultural industries caused by increasing population and demand for
food.
-Statement of propose:
The purpose of the study is to understand the future scope of use of GMO in the food
industry and how it can address the challenges faced by these industries. This will help to
analyze the scope for further studies on the applications of GMO and how to ensure its safety.
-Description of Methodology:
For this study secondary literature has been reviewed in a thematic analysis approach
to understand the future applications of GMO in the food industry.
-Results:
From the results it is evident that GMO has vast applications in both food industry and
agriculture as it can help in the production of not only crops with better yield and resistance,
but also developing both plant and animal species that that can produce specific enzymes that
can have therapeutic and pharmacological value or reduce the content of harmful substances
in certain plant and animal products by the removal of genes that produce them. This GMO
can help to produce animal or plant based products that are safer, healthier and with
medicinal qualities. However, there still exists some concerns regarding how GMO can

impact the ecosystem and environment as well as human health as the selective genetic
markers in transgenic species can also induce genomic changes in the host species leading to
conditions such as antibiotic resistance.
-Statement of importance:
It is therefore important to further research on how GMO can impact human health as
well as the ecosystem and environment as this knowledge can help to determine whether the
use of GMO be continued considering the welfare as well as future sustainability of
humankind as the natural ecosystem.
