So growing gmo that does not demands pesticide can eliminate the use of chemical substance (=pesticide 중복되서;;;ㅠ). Plus gmo plants genetically made to be resistant to weed-killer which helps to reduce production cost and waste. Plus gmo can be developed in an extreme environment and reduce timing of the harvest or increase the amount of production to solve food shortage. Plus

This backlash is due to the misinformed public that made them ban or have heavy restrictions on GM products in most countries. However‚ if the public was to become informed about the effects of GMOs‚ the will be able understand
