Genetic conservation is an integral part of a much broader activity concerned with protecting the many plants, animals, microorganisms, and communities of organisms that help to mold and stabilize the environment and maintain the quality of air, water, and soil.

A more specifically defined type of  GMO  is a "transgenic organism." Gmo for Food Genetically modified foods  or  GM foods , also known as  genetically engineered foods , are foods produced from organisms  that have had changes introduced into their DNA  using the methods of genetic engineering.  Genetic engineering techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits than previous methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.  Gmo for Fish The Food and Drug Administration will decide whether Atlantic salmon genectically engineering to grow faster then their natural relative can be allowed be raised and sold as food.
