With a growing world population, one of the most pressing issues is that of feeding such a large number of people.Some people believe that GM foods offer a viable solution to this problem. To what extent do you agree? why? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

these help other sectors too in earning more profits like distributors, retailers as well as consumers,

for example

, if a farmer grows any crop in the field which gives him 35kgs yield, with same expenses he gets 45kgs yield.

, these plants are developed from the allergens of the gene so there are possible risks of diseases,

for example

, it has been proved that diseases can be caused by a mutation in DNA and even it is dangerous to introduce a new gene into the body. Though it is not risk-free provided that if the genes are not affected by any
