This is a somewhat complicated topic so I cannot give a compete answer, but in general, people do not agree about whether it is really possible to improve on nature. Genetic engineering allows us to give plants and animals specific traits that we want them to have, such as giving a plant resistance to a particular kind of herbicide, but what are the side effects? Is this plant still safe for humans to eat? What happens if the plant accidentally cross breeds with other plants in the wild? (And should we even be using herbicides?) So there are a lot of issues.
