It really depends what type of genetically modified crop it is
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.
No, because the crops are just grown faster than normal.
A lot of people are against genetically modified crops being grown because of potential negative health effects. The effects of altering crops genetically are also not known due to the process being relatively new.
Some disadvantages of growing genetically modified crops include potential harm to non-target organisms, reduced biodiversity, development of resistance in pests and weeds, and uncertainty about long-term environmental and health effects.
New insects resistant to toxins
The primary genetically modified crops grown in the US are soybean and maize. Rapeseed (used in canola oil) and cotton are also genetically modified.
Two additional benefits of using herbicide-resistant genetically modified crops are increased crop yields and reduced environmental impact from the use of chemical herbicides.
