Genetically modified crops are crops with plants that have been genetically altered in order to increase the yield of the crop. For example, the plant may have been genetically altered to become bigger or more resistant to bugs.

What is the difference between bioengineered crops and genetically modified crops?

Bioengineered crops and genetically modified (GM) crops often refer to similar concepts, but there are subtle distinctions. Bioengineered crops are those that have been altered using biotechnology techniques, which may include methods like gene editing. In contrast, genetically modified crops typically refer to those that have had specific genes inserted or modified using traditional GM techniques. Essentially, all bioengineered crops can be considered genetically modified, but not all genetically modified crops fall under the broader category of bioengineering, as the latter encompasses a wider range of biotechnological innovations.
