            • expand the farm ya, buy new stuff !! higher capital can be invested in2 farm, higher input= higher output. cyCLE! !
      • pest resistant !! (also links to improving yield)
      • basically,, weather won't affect it:: drought/cold resistant !! (links to improving yield)
      • can improve shelf life
        • u better understand how gr8 this is. we can stocKPILE Food noW. drought? famine?? no WoRRIES we got a bunch of food from 4ever ago.
      • improved taste

      • bIODIVersity i;m cryING the earth must be protected

          • ok so these poor butterlfies feed on milk wheat, which is sprinkled w. the genes of a gm corn
            • the corn has a gene which KILLS THEESE BEAUTFIul butterlfies. dIE, the population = diE !!!
              • can elaborate on how it affects food chain as a whole !!
                • so, rly affects the biodiversity. im crying

                • oh my goD... the agribusiness beneFITS. but guess what?? the pests/weeds bcome resistant again. we're doomed, the cycle repeaTS itself. can u believe
                  • poor farmers, good 4 agribusiness people. bad oVERALl
    • two-sided answers, give both positive/negative points
    • know the difference between this and high yielding varieties
      • ok. hyvs = wiTHIN the same species. gm foods are transgenic!! gr8
  2. ipo systems

    • greater input = greater output. this is gr8
      • i liED it's coMMON SENSE USE YOUR DAMn brain
    • i got nothing.. use common sense, folks
      • read:: fail this section together !! nice
    • no lie i got nothing,, but basically have a general statement =
      • yes, = if xx is changed, xy changes 2 !!!! common sense
        • i mean,, if input changes, output changes too !! wow, i love this logic. its so.. hard 2 understand?? wha
    • list inputs & purposes. like, the purpose of the input?? what does this lead 2 ?? why do we need this input. ya
      • aight and then u better describe the processes. whAT do these inputs go through??
        • kACHING!!!!! inputs done processes doNE. what's the output?? (s)
