Approximately 85% of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically modified.
In fact, in 2020, the majority of cotton, alfalfa, papaya, sugar beet, and soybean crops produced in the U.S. were genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Many varieties of GMOshave been adopted globally by farmers, and their products are readily available on our supermarket shelves.
Do not fear! These fiendishly-called "Frankenstein foods" are NOT a cause for fright over your health, nutrition, or safety.
What Are GMOs?
Other terms to describe organisms with edited genomes include:
genetically modified (GM)
genetically engineered (GE)
bioengineered (BE)
Biotechnology enables us to eliminate, enhance, rearrange, and introduce specific genes into an organism's DNA - even from another species!

Benefits To Producers
Gene editing through genetic engineering primarily benefits farmers and crop cultivation.
It produces crops that are resistant to:
Drought
Flooding
Freezing
Disease
Infection
Pests
Herbicides
Ripening

سوال
Koa planted GM Rainbow papaya seeds that resist damage caused by the papaya ringspot virus. What would be the benefit of this GM seed?
In Hawaii, papaya production fell 50% between 1993 and 2006 from papaya ringspot virus infection. The GM Rainbow papaya saved papaya farming on the Hawaiian Islands because of all the beneficial outcomes listed above!
Benefits To Consumers
The future of GM foods may directly benefit your eating experience!
Bioengineering can create foods with:
better taste
greater variety
improved nutrition

In the 1990s, scientists developed "golden rice" to help those suffering from vitamin A deficiency. The GE rice contains genes that code for beta-carotene - a precursor to vitamin A - giving it a golden hue.

Safety
All food must be deemed safe and nutritious by government agencies for you to purchase it.
Furthermore, GM foods are thoroughly researched and tested for their effect on human health and the environment by:
chemists
nutritionists
toxicologists
microbiologists
molecular biologists
