With a growing population, many countries believe that we should focus on producing gm foods. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

Nowadays, people facing problems with population outbreaks. Thereby arising so many issues related to

this

, especially for

food

. That's why many people believe that genetically modified

crops

are used to tolerate the growing population.

However

, merits and demerits are there for the use of

GM

crops

, which will be ensured the

further

paragraphs.

First

of all, genetically engineered or modified organisms are present in

GM

crops

, which provide some positive effects on the

plants

.

For example

, Bacillus thurungenisis is a soil bacteria which have activity against some insects. So we isolated that gene from the organism and applied it to the cotton

plants

. So that they acquired the ability to resist that insects.

On the other hand

, some genetically modified

plants

have activity against plant pathogens, stress tolerance and herbicide resistance too.With the use of

GM

,

crops

there will be no infections caused by the

plants

and thereby getting a higher production rate and it will be helping modern civilization.

Secondly

, the cultivation of these

GM

crops

will cause negative effects

also

.

For example

, some of them reduce soil fertility and cross-contamination.

For example

, we are cultivating herbicide-tolerant

plants

. the organisms present in that plant may affect or infects other unwanted

plants

.

Besides

, there will be a risk to the production of

food

also

. If we are eating much

GM

food

may affect some other health issues, which are not completely known. In conclusion, based on my opinion the government should focus on the research works related to

GM

foods

crops

and study all the related health problems.

Then

promote the production of

GM

food

crops

to tally population outbreaks.
