It's call selective breeding in plants & animals. We been doing it since before Jesus.

Though now we can speed up selective breeding through bio engineering. Same results, just quicker. Instead of taking 200 years to grow a crop that has a better output you can just simply move a genetic marker and get it done in a...

Western nations won't be going hungry, food shortages will be felt by poorer countries.
