1, advantages:

Genetically modified food has many advantages: it can increase crop yield, reduce production cost, enhance crop resistance to pests and viruses, improve the storability of agricultural products, shorten crop development time, get rid of the supply of four seasons, break species boundaries, constantly cultivate new species, and produce food beneficial to human health.

2. Disputes:

Genetically modified foods are also controversial: the so-called increase in production is not affected by the environment, and it may reduce production even more if it encounters natural disasters such as rain and snow. At the same time, in the process of planting, transgenic crops may evolve into farmland weeds; It may affect other species through gene drift; Genetically modified foods may cause allergies.
