The genetically modified foods were introduced to the world due to many advantages it has over the conventional foods. As we all know, there is only a limited earth surface suitable for cultivating. Due to the increasing earth population, it is obvious that one day, the food supply will not simply enough to cater the demand. In order to prevent such situation, the scientists have come up with genetically modified foods where they can use for producing more crops using the same amounts of resources. There are a number of benefits of genetically modified foods and let?s have a look at those.Pest resistance is one of the prominent benefits of genetically modified foods. Due to insects and pests, farmers lose a lot of money and lose a lot of crop globally. The aggregated loss is gigantic when it comes to the global level. Therefore, the genetically modified foods were introduced with the characteristics of pest resistance. As an example, some plants and flowers are pest resistant by nature. The scientists have taken the gene responsible for making such plants pest resistant and have added it to the foods we eat. Then the foods get the pest resistant ability, while producing more crops. In addition to that, the farmer is at advantage as he / she does not have to spend on chemicals and mechanisms for pest control. On the other hand, the consumers receive clean and healthy foods that have not been in touch with deadly chemicals and also .Further research conducted by the Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering, which is a non for profit independent organization committed to study the impact of genetically modified corn as well as food in general recently corroborated the evidence of the earlier researchers that certain organs have been negatively impacted by genetically modified food, namely the kidneys, the liver, the heart, the adrenal glands and the spleen.
Due to the changes in climate, such as coldness, far mers are not able to do farming during certain periods of the year. Most of the foods do not tolerate extreme weather or climate changes, so as a result, crops may produce low volumes. In order to address this, genes of the plants that can withstand coldness have been added to the food producing plants, making the latter category more cold resistant. This is one of key benefits of genetically modified foods. As another benefits of genetically modified foods, in some other countries, paddy has been developed genetically where they can withstand low water supply. Water is one of the burning issues in some of the developing countries.
