Detailed explanation-1: -Farmers can use less spray pesticides when they plant GMO crops. This saves farmers money and reduces the amount of pesticides that end up on crops. When farmers use herbicide-tolerant crops, they reduce the need to till the soil to control weeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Where they are grown, GM crops occupy large surface areas and are linked to intensive monoculture systems that wipe out other crop and ecosystems. Growing only one kind of corn for human consumption will mean a reduction in flavors, traditional knowledge and food security.
Detailed explanation-3: -Toxicity. Genetically engineered foods are inherently unstable. Allergic Reactions. Antibiotic Resistance. Immuno-suppression. Cancer. Loss of Nutrition.
