Summary: 1. They are more appealing to eat: Colors can be changed or improved with genetically modified food so they become more pleasing to eat. Deeper colors change how the brain perceives what is being eaten. Deeper red colors make food seem sweeter, even if it is not. Brighter foods are associated with better nutrition and improved flavors.
2. Stronger Crops: One of the main advantages of GM technology is that crops can be engineered to withstand weather extremes. This means that there will be good quality and sufficient yields even under poor or severe weather conditions. As populations across the world grow and more land is being utilized, farmers are pushed to grow crops in locations that are originally not suitable.
3. Easier to transport: Because GMOs have a prolonged shelf life, it is easier to transport them greater distances. This improvement makes it possible to take excess food products from one community and deliver it to another that may be experiencing a food shortage. GMO food gives us the opportunity to limit food waste, especially in the developing world, so that hunger can be reduced and potentially eliminated.
4. They are cheaper: GMO crops are bred to grow efficiently. This means that farmers can produce the same amount of food using less land, less water, and fewer pesticides than conventional crops.
