14 4 Technology Trends in GM Crops Future Past Patent-protected food crops (herbicide resistant) First commercialized in the 1990s Present Disease resistant Insect resistant Stacked trait seeds Stress tolerant Enhanced nutrition Multiple traits Therapeutic crops Source: Frost & Sullivan. 14
15 5 Malaysia s Biosafety Act 2007 According to the Act, a living modified organism " means any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology The Act calls for the establishment of the Genetic Modification Advisory Committee, whose function is to provide scientific, technical and other relevant advice to the Minister or the Board With regards to GM labelling, the Act requires that all living modified organisms, items containing living modified organisms and products of such organisms shall be clearly identified and labelled 15
16 6 Conclusion GMOs are increasingly viewed as one of the best solutions to end world hunger, as genetically enhanced crops typically provides higher yields than conventional crops It is increasingly difficult to determine whether a consumable product contains GMOs or not. For example, GM corn could easily be used to produce corn syrup or even alcohol, which is then inserted into various types of foods and beverages. It is predicted that GMOs will become a mainstream food product on a global scale by the end of the decade, and acceptance of GMOs, especially by the developing world, will increase. 16
