With growing world population one of the most pressing issues is that of feeding such a large number of people Some people think that GM foods offer a viable solution to this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Another added benefit is that by needing fewer resources, farmers can reduce costs and maintain affordable prices for consumers. In conclusion, genetically modified foods can become the most effective option if the number of people keeps growing through a faster turnaround to meet global demand and less use of natural resources. It is expected that many more countries adapt
