Specific concerns include mixing of genetically modified and non-genetically modified products in the food supply, [1] effects of GMOs on the environment, [2] [3] the rigor of the regulatory process, [4] [5] and consolidation of control of the food supply in companies that make and sell GMOs. [2]
The best way to avoid pesticides, if that’s a health concern, is to go with organic food, as unlike organic foods, conventional, non-GMO foods are still likely exposed to pesticides.

Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. Plant genomes can be engineered by physical methods or by use of Agrobacterium for the delivery of sequences hosted in T-DNA binary vectors. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant ...
Genetic engineering is a laboratory process that alters the DNA make-up of an organism. This may include deleting or adding a segment of DNA. [2] Genetically Modified Organisms typically refers to food products that have been altered using genetic engineering. This is done by adding DNA to a single cell, that will later be present in the rest ...
t. e. A genetically modified soybean is a soybean (Glycine max) that has had DNA introduced into it using genetic engineering techniques. [ 1 ]: 5 In 1996, the first genetically modified soybean was introduced to the U.S. by Monsanto. In 2014, 90.7 million hectares of GM soybeans were planted worldwide, making up 82% of the total soybeans ...
India and China are the two largest producers of genetically modified products in Asia. [1] India currently only grows GM cotton, while China produces GM varieties of cotton, poplar, petunia, tomato, papaya and sweet pepper. Cost of enforcement of regulations in India are generally higher, possibly due to the greater influence farmers and small ...
