Crops that have their genetic makeup altered by the addition of a gene of interest are considered genetically modified (GM). The safety of consuming GM crops/food has recently become a major source of debate and concern among scientists. This review contains critical information on GM crop adoption, as well as the hazards and advantages of GM crops to biodiversity, human health, and safety. The majority of researchers believe that cultivating GM crops is beneficial because they are pest, virus, and disease resistant; herbicide tolerant; drought resistant; nutritionally increased quality; and a solution to food scarcity. Others believe that GM crops are harmful to human and livestock health because of allergic reactions, leads to biodiversity loss, the advent of superweeds and superpests, food security and increased antibiotic resistance in crops. Furthermore, in long-term animal experiments, dietary administration of GM crops (maize, soya bean, rice) showed no/minor adverse effects. As a result, our basic understanding of the last two decades outcomes reveals that overall health and environmental advantageous outweigh the associated risks. The accompanying hazards can be controlled in the future as new technologies arise.
