    Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered. The first GMO was created in 1973 by transferring DNA from one bacterium to another. Most scientists agree that GM foods are generally safe for consumption. GMOs can be modified to increase crop yields, make plants resistant to pests and diseases, and enhance nutrient levels in foods. While long-term safety studies are still being conducted, no evidence currently suggests that GMOs are harmful to human health. Proponents argue that GMOs help increase global food security and benefit farmers through higher yields.

    Genitically Modified Organism ( GMO )

    Title

    A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has


    been altered to contain a segment of DNA from another organism. Recombinant DNA
    made from two different organism e.g. human gene and bacterial plasmid. The first
    genetically modified organism was developed in 1973 by biochemists Herbert Boyer
    and Stanley Cohen, who inserted DNA from one bacterium into another. Most scientists
    agree that GM foods are "generaly safe."

    First and foremost, GMOs are very nutritious. In many instances, improving
    macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, fibre) and micronutrients (vitamins,
    minerals, functional metabolites). Some genetically modified foods are designed to
    enhance nutrition, quality, and style. For instance, the golden rice which is genetically
    modified and rich in vitamin A. There are many uses of GMO's for examples;to make
    plants resistant to disease, to make pigs with less fat - leaner meat, to make pigs,cows
    or fish grow faster and lastly, higher production of milk by cows. Growing plants that are
    more resistant to diseases spread by insects or viruses will likely result in higher yields
    for farmers and a more attractive product. Farmers have achived higher income due to
    the increased yield of GM corn and reduced use of pesticides. As a result of improved
    yields and better-quality harvests, the Philippines has been able to export corn silage
    since adopting GM corn.

    From the beggining back then, crop products was always organic. Now that were in
    modern world, GMO's have been injected genes from one species to another that could
    be dangerous to people. From having all the vitamins of a single product could have a
    great advantages,but our foods will not be an organic now.GMO crops are relatively
    new, and researchers are still investigating their long-term safety and health effects, but
    no evidence has yet emerged that currently available GMO foods are harmful to human
    health, but what most people afraid or worry about is without having to agonize about
    what the food they consume of.

    There are hundreds of companies and people that are pro-GMO and believe that
    genetically modified foods don't pose harm to us or the environment. While similar to
    genetic engineering, gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 offer a more precise
    and controlled way to modify genes. They can be used to make targeted changes
    without introducing foreign genes, potentially addressing some ethical and
    environmental concerns associated with traditional GMOs.

    In conclusion, the benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased of 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. GMO is a
    process by which pieces of DNA are transferred from one organism to another.
