GMO foods are foods produced from those altered organisms. Today I will be presenting the pros to Genetically modified food.I will be talking about pest/insects resistance, nutrition, phytoremediation(fytoremediation) and pharmaceuticals(farmecitical).

The chemicals can run-off and poison the water supply and harm the environment.
