Today there are 6 billion people on the Earth. By the year 2050, there may be 12.5 billion. There are a lot of people to feed. We need more food.

One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material(遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are call genetically modified foods(转基因食品), or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.

GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because the are unnatural. They may feed people, and then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.

One of the best-selling ready-to-serve food for stay-at-home foodies during the epidemic in China might surprise many people. It’s the instant river-snail noodles, known for the stinky (十分难闻的) smell.

In May, the Liuzhou River-Snail Noodles Industry Institute was set up, which plans to enroll 500 students this year. Liang Xuhui, the Deputy Party Secretary of Liuzhou, said the city government attached great importance to the development of the Luosifen industry, which is now worth more than 10 billion yuan a year. "The establishment of the Luosifen school is expected to help develop the enterprise," Liang said, adding the school would receive subsidies (补贴) and policy support from the local government.

As the special dish in Liuzhou, packaged versions of the instant river-snail noodles became popular during the COVID-19 lockdown. Because of the unique flavor and convenience, the instant river-snail noodles won over customers staying inside their homes. During those months, not only Chinese friends fell in love with Luosifen, but also foreign friends gradually developed a great interest in it. One of the foreigners said, "In terms of its flavor, it didn’t taste as odd as I was expecting. It’s really delicious. I’d definitely order Luosifen again when I come to Guangxi next time!"
