Genetically modified crops, also known as genetically engineered crops, are plants that have been genetically altered through biotechnology to improve their resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to environmental stress, and nutrient content. Genetically modified crops have been developed using advanced crop modeling techniques that allow for the modification of specific genes to produce desired traits. While genetically modified crops have the potential to offer many benefits, they also pose potential risks that must be carefully evaluated.
