My Script: Genetically Modified Foods‚ also known as GM foods‚ is the process of using biotechnology techniques to create specific changes into the foods DNA‚ using methods of genetic engineering. These techniques can allow our food to be modified. This then allows us to make our crops resistant to pests and disease‚ which benefits farmers‚ so they don’t have to spend excessive amounts of money on insecticides‚ it also enables the foods to have the capability to adapt to any environmental conditions
