Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using biotechnology to introduce specific traits that are advantageous for agriculture. This technology allows scientists to enhance certain characteristics in plants, animals, and microorganisms that would be challenging or impossible to achieve through traditional breeding methods. By inserting genes from one species into another, GMOs can be engineered to exhibit traits such as pest resistance, improved nutritional content, and increased yield, offering significant potential benefits for food production and global food security.
