Alternative crops can be brought to the attention of global agriculture and diversify the world’s food sources. People of all cultures are usually conservative about food choices, often rejecting offhand crops that have good nutritional and agricultural value but are unfamiliar to them. How would you ensure that a plant crop new to an area is accepted? What is your opinion on the use of genetically modified or altered foods. Do you believe they should be allowed or banned? Do you believe that labels should clearly indicate that the food item in question contains genetically modified foods? Why or why not? Use examples to defend your answers.
