Genetically Modified Foods

Foods that have been genetically altered can be referred to as GM foods. They are also known as foods that have been genetically altered. These foods are typically created using genetic engineering technology, which modifies the DNA architecture of diverse organisms. This approach has advantages because it will result in novel features like disease resistance and mutant breeding. In the year 1994, this technology was created. Cash crops including cotton, corn, soybeans, and others are typically the main focus. Producing GM crops with higher nutritional profiles and disease and herbicide resistance is the major goal.
