Louis Pasteur invents pasteurisation, heating wine to prevent spoilage.
It is the start of altering food to make it safer or to last longer. That is what GM food seems to be, food that lasts longer, is safer, ect. -
First biotchnology patent granted: US researchers awarded a US patent that allows them to make human insulin from GM bacteria.
This was the first GM or biotech patent granted in the world. Also, they make something useful from bacteria. -
US patents awarded to companies producing genetically engineered plants.
US is allowing GE plants for the first time. The public can now have different GE plants. -
The US Enviroment Protection Authority approves the release of the first genetically-modifies crop- a GM virus resistant tobacco plant.
The public can now have a GM crop that has been approved. It is a virus resistant plant, the first one. -
Clagene Inc. gets a patent to produce a tomato with a longer shelf life. In the UK, genes are added to potato plants to make them have more protein and increase their nutritional value.Removing the allergy-causing proteins from peanuts.
Many major advances advancments were made, increasing nutritional value, shelf life, and removing allegic proteins. This was one of the biggest advancements to modern genetic engineering. -
The first GE food product recieves the US Food and Drug Administration approval.
A GE food is let out to the public. The food part is important because a crop gets mixed into other products, but if it is food, that is what comes up in the stores, so it is really, really GM. -
The banteg, an endangered specied of cattle, is cloned for the first timein the USA. Other cloning firsts are donkeys, horses and deer.
Cloning is introduced to the US. This helps the research into GM foods. -
First GM crops approved for planting in Germany. US researchers test drought-resistant tomatoes, salt-tolerant oats, and high-calcium potatoes. Herbicide-tolerant GM corn is approved for use as food in Austrailia.
GM foods are spreading all aroung the world, Germany to Austrailia. Also, diiferent foods are getting different attributes. -
US Food and Drug Administration say that food and food products gotten from cloned animals or their offspring are as safe to eat as he non-cloned ones. Austrailia report states that GM crops can be safely grown and marketed alongside conventional crops.
Cloning animals could be a safe way to feed people. GM foods and normal foods could start being put together and you couldn't tell the difference. -
Within 20 years, new GM cops could have properties with more direct benefits. Third generation crops may have even stronger benefits.
Foods are getting healthier and healthier, with many more benefits. The foods have really improved. -
GM foods are getting widely used and more benefits are being researched.
Even unhealthy foods or foods we had allergic reactions on could be healthy and edible. Allergic to peanuts? No problem! -
GM foods are taking over. Many resaurants and stores have switched to the healthy, plentiful alternative.
These foods we eat so much of could have unknown side effects, but could solve hunger. That is a huge problem, solved.
