Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms that have had their genes altered in some way. Genetic engineering can be done with plants, animals, or even bacterias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Iceland, researchers are growing genetically modified barley plants inside a greenhouse to create lab-grown meat. They believe that this cutting-edge approach can lower costs, enhance food production and quality, and eliminate dependence on live animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s watch the video to learn more about the process of genetically modifying barley plants to grow meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
