Advantages of GMOs
- Acceleration of breeding and hybridization. Previously, it took decades to create a new variety with the specified characteristics without using genetic engineering methods. Now it is possible to get a modified plant in up to a year. This is how species that are resistant to negative weather conditions and pests are obtained.
- Reduction of production costs ( less fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides are required), hence the ability to increase the volume of grown products.
- Reduction of storage losses (modified varieties tolerate storage and transportation better)
- - Reduction of spending on pest control (potato varieties resistant to the Colorado potato beetle)
As we can see, the advantages are indisputable and unambiguous. In fact, the use of modified organisms is a real opportunity to save humanity from hunger .
