GMO plants such as corn‚ soybeans‚ wheat‚ rice‚ ect. provide crops for people that live in particularly dry areas. Though some plants have the ability to naturally adapt to drought conditions‚ it is a long process‚ but genetically modifying the DNA of the crops provides a faster solution. The technology to make GMO crops is not new‚ it was made in the 1970s - 1980s meaning scientists had much time to work

Due to the labelling‚ by 1999‚ most of the major European retailers removed scientifically altered ingredients from their products (Scientific American).
