I found a decent amount of useful sources on GMO's. It seemed however that a majority of them were very similar, all talking about GMO's as a general idea. It was tougher to find sources that were specific to my topic but once I used the Pickler Library databases I found more. I was searching for things on GMO's and also ending food scarcity in places and found a couple useful articles. Most of my sources I found were web articles but I also found a good research paper about the topic.

Recombinant DNA Technology." Nature.com. Nature Publishing Group. Web. 22

This article has lots of useful
general info about genetically modified organisms. It introduces what they are
and gives non-biased information about their uses. In addition to this it also
gives reasons for why they are harmful and also on why they are useful. I feel
this can be a useful source to cite for general info about GMO’s and it also
has plenty of citations to check out for further info.

Judith. "Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)." Encyclopedia
Britannica Online. Encyclopedia Britannica. Web. 22 Feb. 2016.
This article
begins by giving a general overview of what GMO’s are and their uses. It then
goes into talking about GMO’s specifically in agriculture. It talks specifics
in GM crops and how fast and how much is being produced with GMO’s. This
article is useful because I could use it when Im making an argument about the
use of GMO’s in agriculture.
Ralston, Robin.
The Impact on Human Health of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in Foods.
Web. 22 Feb. 2016.
This
article has a few different sections on GMO’s. The idea is though that we don’t
yet have enough info to label GMO’s as “goo” or “bad”, we need more research.
However the article does cite possible problems along with possible benefits of
GMO’s. This article has useful info for attempting to classify GMO’s that I can
use in my paper.
