2. Definition Genetically Modified Crops- Are plants where the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques.

3.  Spending less money producing more food.  Use fewer pesticides and herbicides.  Do less tilling to remove weeds, thereby protecting the soil.  Foods can be more resistant to disease, it reduces the cost necessary for pesticides and herbicides.  Foods are often genetically modified in order to increase their nutritional content.

4. Cons  Chemicals can behave extremely complex in the human body.  Costumers may not know they are eating GM food.  Could produce mutant plants.  Pollen from GM crops could spread to fields with non-GM Crops.  Genes to make plants toxic to specific insects may kill other insects or chemicals further up the food chain.
