   Dec 11, 2023 · GMO-containing food products are widely found in the food supply in the United States but originate from a relatively narrow list of 10 genetically engineered crops. GMO products are designed to increase crop outputs and not to affect the taste, smell, or appearance of food.

   What are the different types of GMO crops?

   • Only a few types of GMO crops are grown in the United States, but some of these GMOs make up a large percentage of the crop grown (e.g., soybeans, corn, sugar beets, canola, and cotton). In 2020, GMO soybeans made up 94% of all soybeans planted, GMO cotton made up 96% of all cotton planted, and 92% of corn planted was GMO corn.

   Are GMOs kinder to the environment?

   • For example, higher yields and longer shelf life may lead to lower prices for consumers, and pest-resistant crops means that farmers don’t need to buy and use as many pesticides to grow quality crops. GMO crops can thus be kinder to the environment than conventionally grown crops. Genetically modified foods do cause controversy, however.
