However

, possible health implications caused by insufficiently researched genetic modification should not be overlooked. On the one hand, even though requiring less hazardous chemicals for growth, genetic engineering methods still raise agricultural productivity which is highly demanded by today’s population. With improved genome, crops become more resistant towards threats that natural plants are exposed to,

 devastate yields.
In addition
Linking Words
, some selected traits can be bred to increase their tolerance to severe natural conditions, be it drought or a heatwave. As a natural result, genetically modified crops tend to have higher harvests without the application of environmentally dangerous pesticides, which in conventional farming are often a source of soil contamination.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, applying genetic engineering has aroused significant opposition as it may pose a threat to consumers’ health. Having undergone modification, the altered genome may be accepted as an allergen, provoking unpredictable side effects. Rapidly wide-spreading allergy for soybeans is just one example of

Hence
