Scientists want to create genetically modified crops to enhance their resistance to pests and diseases, increase their nutritional content, and improve their yield potential. These modifications aim to address global challenges such as food security, environmental sustainability, and the need for more resilient crops in the face of climate change.
Genetically modified crops are made in order to make a desired trait, such as high yield, disease resistance, large fruit etc. more pronounced and/or undesired traits, such as toxins and large seeds...
Scientists invented genetically modified foods to address various agricultural challenges such as pests, diseases, and environmental conditions. By introducing specific genetic traits into plants, crops can be engineered to be more resistant to pests, diseases, and herbicides, leading to increased crop yields and reduced use of chemical pesticides.
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.
Genetically modified crops can have negative impacts on biodiversity, create concerns about potential health risks, and lead to domination of agricultural markets by a few companies. Additionally, there are ethical concerns about the control of genetic resources and the long-term effects of these crops on the environment.
Two additional benefits of using herbicide-resistant genetically modified crops are increased crop yields and reduced environmental impact from the use of chemical herbicides.
It is not likely that they will.

not
no
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.
Increasing food production
Increasing food production
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.
