supporters argue that for farmers, and indeed for all of us, the advantages of GM crops are overwhelming GM crops are resistant to pests, resulting in better quality plants that yield bigger harvests.
Drought-resistant and cold-resistant GM crops can help secure a reliable food supply in even the most inhospitable weather conditions. So, more food for everyone! and that's important, proponents say, as hundreds of millions of people around the world
are already suffering from hunger, and by 2050, the population of the world will probably have increased to nine billion. How else are we to feed the world? We have a responsibility to feed the earth's poor and hungry, and GM crops offer the only realistic way of preventing mass starvation. What's more, supporters argue that GM crops can provide improved nutrition to help fight disease and illness. They talk of tomatoes that could be capable of preventing cancer, and staples like rice and potatoes that could be boosted in nutrients to perhaps give a whole day's nourishment in single serving
