Developing the genetic modification is expensive and such crops can cost more. Genetically improved foods are resistant to extreme climate conditions. Antibiotics in GM foods make medications less effective when we have to combat diseases. Crops without genetic modifications can be affected. They are able to grow faster and give two harvests instead of one. They contain vitamins and minerals for our healthier diet. GM crops can grow without herbicides and pesticides and come with environmental benefits. It reduces the diversity of plant species. GM foods have longer shelf life and can taste better. It can cause food allergies. Farms become more productive and more people can be fed. Ecological damage happens to the soil where GM crops grow and contaminate ground waters.
