Ever since the beginning of the agricultural revolution, which took place in Britain in the 1700s, humans have been manipulating crops to improve their attribute and produce. This involved inventions and innovations that led to an increase in food production.

Then after the 1980's, scientists started applying genetic engineering techniques to improve crop quality, crop protection and produce. Modern day techniques, such as radiation breeding were used to improve the seed producer's ability to develop new behaviour in crops.

In contrast to earlier engineering methods, these techniques raised questions about their safety to consumers and the environment. Nutrient levels of potato varieties are lower than stated. In some cases, we see 50% reduction in riboflavin and niacin, 40% reduction in potassium, and 20 to 30% lower in iron, copper, and zinc. Yet, thiamine and folic acid in some of these potato varieties were 2 to 3 times higher.
