And now there is accumulating evidence about possible health impacts of GMOs. I think some of the concerns that are being raised are essentially the way that the microbiota in the gut interacts with genetically engineered foods, and the possible a

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture OrgANIzation (FAO) report, LiveSTOck’s Long Shadow, the raising of liveSTOck is responsible for approximately 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emission, more than all forms of transportation combined. And a more recent report, LiveSTOck and Climate Change, co-authored by Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang, stated that
