The document is a presentation outlining the differences between organic, genetically modified (GMO), and conventionally grown foods. It discusses the benefits and disadvantages of each food category, along with how to identify them and their impact on health and the environment. The presentation concludes with a quiz and glossary related to the topic.
GMO, Conventionally Grown, and Organic Food Presented by Shounak Ray Chaudhuri
- 1. GMO, Conventionally Grown and Organic Food By: Shounak Ray Chaudhuri AS 031017 18
- 2. Intro This is a brief introduction to my presentation about Food. For the next 10-15 minutes I’ll be talking about ● Different categories of food ○ Organic food ○ GMO food ○ Conventionally grown food ● How to identify which is what ● Can meats and dairies be conventional or GMO? ● Quiz | Glossary
- 3. Why I Chose This Topic I chose this topic because my dad watched a PG-13 movie in which a boy ate GMO food and had skin disease, loss of appetite and an episode of vomiting. When my dad told me about the movie, I was confused about conventional, GMO and organic foods. So, I decided to learn about those foods and show you my findings. ???! Organic!? Conventionally Grown!? GMO?!
- 4. Let's start digging into my academic sharing
- 5. Organic Foods Organic fruits and vegetables are produced without using ● Chemical pesticides ● Synthetic fertilizers ● Genetically modified organisms Organic meats and dairy products are produced from animals without using ● Antibiotics and growth hormones ● GMO animal food
- 6. Organic Foods - Benefits and Disadvantages Benefits ● No side effects with chemicals ● Healthy ● Better for the environment ● Fresher as no preservatives are used Disadvantages ● Extra Cost ● Long-term preservation is hard ● More Bacteria and Virus Attacks R EC O M M EN D ED
- 7. Organic Logos These are organic logos
- 8. GMO Food Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) foods are produced by ● Changing genes of original foods ● Using genetic engineering in labs ● New DNA structure created scientifically Common GMO foods are ● Soy ● Corn ● Dairy
- 9. GMO foods - Benefits and Disadvantages Benefits ● Uses 4x less water ● Resistant to bacterias ● Add nutritional values Disadvantages ● Not natural ● Unknown side effects on the human body ● Impact to mother nature could be harmful U N KN O W N SID E EFFEC TS
- 10. Conventionally Grown Food Conventionally grown foods are produced by ● Using conventional and natural seeds ● Using synthetic fertilizer while growing ● Using chemical pesticides to avoid loss of production Conventionally bred meats and dairy products include ● Antibiotics given to the animals ● Growth hormones used to increase production 4302
- 11. Conventionally Grown Food - Benefits and Disadvantages Benefits ● Lower price ● Preservation for longer duration ● Not genetically modified Disadvantages ● Use of chemical impacts human body ● Pesticides and chemicals Impact mother nature ● Loss of natural vitamins and proteins due to long-term preservation
- 12. How to Identify Foods As You can see here on my fellow chart As you can see here on my fellow chart, a shortcut to see if food is organic, conventionally-grown, or if it is GMO or genetically modified.
- 13. Meats and Dairy Products Like fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy products can also be organic, GMO or conventionally produced They can be genetically modified if humans genetically modify an animal or the animal that produces the dairy. They are organic if fed only organic food They are conventionally bred if given antibiotics or growth hormones To conclude this slide, I will say that almost any food can be genetically modified or conventionally-grown.
- 14. Videos
- 15. Refreshing your mind What you learned: Today you learned what objects or chemicals are inside organic, conventionally-grown and genetically modified food. You also learned that meat and dairy products can also be genetically modified and conventionally-grown or domesticated. You also learned how to identify food at the grocery store if it's GMO, conventionally-grown or organic. After this slide will be a glossary and the ending slide.
- 16. The 5 question quiz 1. Can meat and dairy products be genetically modified or conventionally domesticated? 2. What was the title of my presentation? 3. How do you identify if a food is genetically modified, organic or conventionally grown? 4. What 3 foods was I talking about today? 5. In the video what did the men do differently?
- 17. Answers 1. YES 2. GMO, Conventionally Grown and Organic Food 3. You look at the numbers 4. GMO, Conventionally Grown and Organic Food 5. One put chemicals and one crossbred them
- 18. Glossary GMO: A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism that has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Conventionally-grown: It produces using synthetic chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones). Organic: relating to or derived from living matter. Chemical, Pesticides: a substance used for destroying insects or other organisms harmful to cultivated plants or to animals. Synthetic, Fertilizer: a chemical or natural substance added to soil or land to increase its fertility. DNA: DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
