Genetically Modified Crops
Genetically Modified crops, revolutionizing agriculture, are cultivated from seeds with altered DNA using genetic engineering techniques. Engineered for enhanced traits like resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses, GM crops often demonstrate increased yield potential. This technology aims to address global food security challenges, offering crops with improved nutritional content and extended shelf life. While proponents praise the potential benefits, including reduced pesticide use and enhanced crop resilience, concerns linger regarding environmental impact, biodiversity, and long-term health effects. The debate over the adoption and regulation of GM crops continues, reflecting the complex balance between innovation in agriculture and the need for sustainable, safe, and ethical practices in food production.
