   Why do farmers grow GMO crops?

   • Some of the reasons farmers choose to grow GMO crops include: GMO crops may also be more resistant to harsh climates, such as drought, heat, and salty soils. This can help increase the growth of crops in areas where food security is a concern. Certain genes in GMO foods may also help increase the shelf life of foods, again decreasing food waste.
