Two months ago, three agri-biotechnology experts namely Dr. Marc Van Montagu, MaryDel Chilton and Dr. Robert T. Fraley have been hailed as the 2013 World Food Prize (WFP) Laureates [8]. They are the pioneers in inventing transgenic plants through a natural tool called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. What do you think about this news? Their invention has become an effective tool to change the world or destroy the world – it is still a question without the final answer. | Hue -Okayama International Master Program Crop production Opportunities and challenges of GM crops Tran Phuong Dung I. Introduction Two months ago three agri-biotechnology experts namely Dr. Marc Van Montagu MaryDel Chilton and Dr. Robert T. Fraley have been hailed as the 2013 World Food Prize WFP Laureates 8 . They are the pioneers in inventing transgenic plants through a natural tool called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. What do you think about this news Their invention has become an effective tool to change the world or destroy the world - it is still a question without the final answer.

People in favor GM technology suppose that GM crops could prevent famine and reduce poverty improve environmental protection as well as create the super-crops against to climate change. Whereas the anti-GM crops groups point out that GMOs in general and GM crops in particular have been causing many serious and unpredictable consequences of ecosystem human health and social problems. In the scope of this assignment I will discuss on the opportunities and challenges of GM crops and also express my viewpoint about GM crops. II. Contents Global status of commercialized GM crops According to ISAAA International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications Brief 44 million hectares of biotech crops were grown globally in 2012 at an annual growth rate of 6 up million from 160 million hectares 2 . In the period 1996 to 2012 millions of farmers in 30 countries worldwide adopted biotech crops at unprecedented rates which made the 100-fold increase in biotech crop areas from million hectares in 1996 to 170 million hectares in 2012 2 . The table as below showed the areas of GM
