| | Genetically modified foods (GM foods or GMF) offer a way to quickly improve crop characteristics such as yield, pest resistance, or herbicide tolerance, often to a degree not possible with traditional methods. | | | Further, GM crops can be manipulated to produce completely artificial substances, from the precursors to plastics to consumable vaccines. | | | The appearance of genetically modified foods in the marketplace has resulted in a firestorm of public debate, scientific discussion, and media coverage. |
