GM Crops

Genetically modified (GM) crops are plants that have had their DNA altered using biotechnology to improve qualities like pest resistance, drought tolerance, or crop yield. This process involves inserting specific genes from other plants, bacteria, or viruses to give the crop desired traits. GM crops can help increase food production, reduce the need for chemical pesticides, and enhance nutritional content. They are carefully tested for safety before being cultivated commercially. Overall, GM crops are a scientific tool aimed at making agriculture more efficient and sustainable, addressing global food security challenges.
