The disadvantages of an economy based on one or two cash crops is that if those crops fail, the economy fails. Most countries and areas have quite a few crops they grow which leads to a more stable economy.
Some are Soybeans, GM Maize, GM wheat(Not in north American markets), Rapeseed/Canola, Sugar beet, Potatos, Rice and Cotton
cash crops are the crops that are grown to earn money
GM's control the flow and progresse of the team and are some times the owners.
One Of The Crops Is Tabacco...
More productive
Because of the opportunity GM crops provide for greater profit with less risk. Also GM crops give much bigger yields (bushels/acre) and thus more profit over crops that are not GMO.
Because some people do not agree with GM crops and it can cause controversal
They are not.
Of course it is!
crops
the main export market for Israel is Europe which does not approve of GM crops so the answer is: no, there are no commercially grown GM crops in Israel. however Israel it self is not against GM.
Corn and Soybeans
GM crops are produced much like other crops, except that many that are grown have been genetically engineered to be resistant to herbicides or to produce an insecticide in the plant itself.
While there are anecdotal reports of toxicity to Monarch butterfly larva, there is no scientific evidence of any danger to the environment from GM crops.

Disadvantages of GM Organisms to HealthShort and long term disadvantages of GM organisms to human health are not yet known. The very nature of GM crops could be a key to the extent of disadvantages to human health that are seen in the future. One type of GM corn produces what is called BT Toxin, which is a pesticide. Since the toxin is produced by the plant itself, it is probably safe to assume that the toxin is still present when the corn is eaten, making it harmful to the health of the consumer. In the United States, no labeling is required for foods that contain GMOs and at least one study of consumption of GMO foods by rodents resulted in organ failure and death.
