The GM stands for genetically modified. The genes of the crops, the instructions that the plants use have been modified by scientists. The scientist select the more favourable genes and activate them more, meaning that crop yield can be higher and the food can be manually modified to make it more perfect.

GM crops, or genetically modified crops, are plants whose genetic material has been artificially altered through genetic engineering techniques. This is done to enhance certain traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, or herbicides, along with improving yield or nutritional content. GM crops are a subject of debate due to concerns about environmental impact, food safety, and ethical considerations.
