Genetic engineering is the intersection of technology and nature in an attempt to create the best possible outcome. The process of genetic engineering alters the structure of genes through direct manipulation of an organisms genetic material. DNA is either added or removed, this process produces traits, that weren't found in the organism before the engineering. Genetic material has revolutionized agriculture in a way that cannot take place naturally or with selective breeding.  Gene editing also allows for herbicide resistant plants. It also produces plants with a resistance to infestations or droughts. The main benefit of GMO crops is how it impacts people, allowing more people to enjoy meals, without having to worry about certain environmental factors, due to increased crop yields, from hardier crops. The pros of genetic engineering in agriculture heavily relies on this. However, a small population are looking into the dangerous propositions of this technology.  The technolo...
