This
paper explains that the countries most affected by the debate
surrounding genetically modified (GM)
foods are Middle Eastern and Third World countries, which stand to reap the benefits of solving widespread starvation, and countries such as the United States, that are robust
suppliers of GM foods. The author points out that, like all new technologies, GM pose some risks, both known and unknown; controversies surrounding GM foods and crops commonly focus on human and
environmental safety, labeling and consumer choice, intellectual property rights, ethics, food security, poverty reduction and environmental conservation. The paper stresses that the likelihood that poorer countries will not be able to
produce GM foods is very high because of their lack of money, resources and technology to produce them.
