ABSTRACT

In agriculture, genetically altered (GM) crops have evolved as a revolutionary solution. While promoting ecologically friendly agricultural practices, they might assist to overcome issues with worldwide food security. Finding out how GM crops impact sustainable environmental practices and food development is the primary objective of this research. Over the last several years, GM crops such Golden Rice, Roundup Ready soybeans, and Bt cotton have altered farming practices all over. These crops have been made more pest, disease, and natural factor resistant by scientists. Drought and high temperatures are among these things. This increases the general crop productivity. One of GM seeds' most major advantages is their ability to boost food production. Since genetically modified crops are resistant to pests and diseases, researchers have repeatedly shown that they are more productive than conventional crops. These factors have helped grain loss to decrease, which has resulted in higher food production particularly in areas prone to experience food insecurity. GM crops might also be more suited to manage natural issues like dryness and salinity, which are growing more and more significant for food production all throughout the globe. Still, sustainability remains a major concern with the use of genetically modified organisms. Some argue that by making bugs more immune or lowering the diversity of plants and animals existing on Earth, mass use of GM foods might disturb the ecosystem. Common in scientific presentations are also worries over the long-term consequences of genetically modified organisms on soil quality and species not meant to be affected. Still, people who support GM crops say that they are a long-term answer when used with responsible farming methods. Some ways to reduce the environmental impact of growing GM crops are field rotation, integrated pest control, and the smart use of pesticides
