Detailed explanation-1: -Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world’s growing population.
Detailed explanation-2: -The genetically modified plants can improve the yield which can meet the increasing demand of the population. They can be produced in a relatively short period of time with accuracy in traits. These crops are less dependent on pesticide and insecticides as they are genetically pest-resistant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) provide certain advantages to producers and consumers. Modified plants, for example, can at least initially help protect crops by providing resistance to a specific disease or insect, ensuring greater food production. GMOs are also important sources of medicine.
