Genetically Modified Wheat

Genetically modified (GM) wheat is wheat that has been altered using biotechnology to improve its qualities. Scientists insert specific genes into the wheat's DNA to make it more resistant to pests, diseases, or harsh environmental conditions. This process can also enhance yield, improve nutritional content, or increase tolerance to drought or drought-like conditions. GM wheat is developed in laboratories and then tested before potential commercial use. It aims to make farming more efficient and sustainable, helping farmers produce more food while reducing the need for chemicals and resources.
