Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are living things whose DNA has been altered in a lab to enhance certain traits. This can include making plants more resistant to pests, improving their nutritional value, or allowing them to grow in harsh conditions. For example, Bt corn is a type of GMO that has been modified to produce a natural insecticide, helping farmers reduce pesticide use. The process of creating GMOs involves techniques like gene editing or recombinant DNA technology. While some people support GMOs for their potential to increase food production and reduce environmental impact, others raise concerns about their safety and effects on biodiversity.
