Millions of people around the world depend on fish as a living. Fisheries provide a source of income, recreation, food and employment throught the world, therefore it is very important that everyone who is involved in fishing helps to manage and conserve these World fisheries. To be able to manage and conserve these fisheries more than 170 members of the FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANISATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS (FAO) in 1995 have adopted a Code of Conduct for responsible fisheries which is aimed for
Organizations, like Monsanto, that provide technology that improves human lives have a moral obligation to society (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). Monsanto can best fulfill their moral obligation while protecting society and the environment from potential negative consequences of their product by using the dimensions of social responsibility (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). The dimensions of social responsibility include economic and legal responsibility, ethical responsibility, and Philanthropic responsibility

With the rapid increase of human population, scientists and researchers start to explore how biological technologies can help with issues such as world hunger and insufficient food sources. In order to find a best possible solution to the issues, genetic engineering has been used more and more often. Some people also think Genetically Modified Crops could be a solution of reduction of food resources. Scientists and farmers start looking at preserving the seeds of plants for a longer period of time
