The only proven disadvantage to genetically modified (GM) crops is that some people have shown an alleregic reaction.
One disadvantage of pharming is the potential for harm to the environment and ecosystem due to the use of genetically modified organisms. There are also concerns about the unintended consequences of producing pharmaceuticals in plants, such as gene flow to wild populations. Additionally, there may be ethical issues related to the consumption of genetically modified crops.
I assume you mean genetically modified, since anything that grows does so based on its genetic material. No, genetically modified crops do not take any longer to grow than their naturally-selected counterparts. When growing corn, for example, the farmer can choose from a fairly wide selection of maturity lengths, both in normal and in 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.
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.
use of genetic engineering in creating genetically modified organisms, the ownership and control of genetically modified seeds and crops, and the potential social impacts of biotechnological advancements on individuals and communities.
It is not likely that they will.

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.
