The Future of Food - How will we feed the world?

            In the food market of 2045, the food sources that will dominate the market are foods that are easy to grow, like plants in the Brassica family, which release chemicals to ward off weeds and fungi.  Another highly probable food source that will dominate the food market of 2045 are GMO's, or Genetically Modified Organisms. These modifies organisms, or in the case, plants, to have more desirable traits, some of which are resistance to pests, the ability to withstand droughts and harsh conditions, and to be more nutritious.

This may sound scary and inhumane to some people, but it will definitely be necessary in 2045. I believe a certain level of processing should be allowed in order to make them cheaper and easier to produce, but not so that they aren't even real food anymore. I mean, who wants faux-meat that's actually peas for dinner? Analogue meats, or meats made from things like vegetables, are created when the protein molecules are realigned into longer strands. The result is something that looks, tastes, feels, and smells exactly like meat-but it isn't meat. GMO's do have their positive side too, since by making plants more able to withstand harsh conditions, the crops would be easier to produce, and cheaper to buy. Many people are still worried about processed food though, because when a person eats a bio-engineered food, there may be health defects that haven't yet been discovered, but could be dangerous to someone's health. I believe GMO's are okay, as long as they don't harm anybody's health. Processed foods could solve the problem of expensive food in 2045, but it could still cause problems that are yet to be seen.
