1 day ago · GM crops are not replacements for traditional methods of farming but rather compliment and enhance the existing yield. Besides imparting superior nutritional value, GM Foods and Crops are insect/pest resistant (e.g. Bt Cotton is resistant to attack from cotton bollworms) , disease resistant, show herbicide tolerance and have better storage life.
3 days ago · While modified crops that are resistant to herbicides can reduce mechanical tillage and hence soil erosion, engineered genes from GMOs can potentially enter into wild populations, genetically modified crops may encourage increased use of agricultural chemicals, and there are concerns that GMOs may cause inadvertent losses in biodiversity.

4 days ago · There’s no substantiated evidence confirming about the possible harms of genetically modified foods. Everything is adequately assessed in the process, regarding engineering and biology. Scientists check for any possible harm the proteins could cause like allergic reactions or other diseases.
21 hours ago · To understand this better, it is essential to delve into what defines organic food and how it compares to its non-organic counterparts. Organic foods are produced through farming practices that avoid synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the use of antibiotics or growth hormones in livestock.
4 days ago · Genetically modified (GM) food crops can be cultivated in locations with unfavorable climatic conditions on occasion. The quality and yield of genetically modified foods are often improved. These foods tend to grow more quickly than conventionally cultivated ones.
