Abstract
The dominance of Genetically Modified (GM) crops in global agriculture is underscored by the production quantities of GM Maize and GM soybean. This review discusses the global statistics of GM crops mentioning the area of cultivation, production, and adoption rates of GM crops in detail. It relates the comprehensive overview of perception toward GM technology varying across regions, with the younger generation often displaying a preferable outlook. It highlights the environmental benefits of GM crops, explaining the decreased pesticide usage with potential health benefits, and hinting at an indirect decline in cancer occurrences. An overview of advancements in genetic tools have significantly evolved genome editing techniques in agriculture. The use of such tools in the field of agriculture shows promising effects in maintaining sustainable development goals. This review demonstrates that genetic techniques are a responsible and effective tool for generating GM crops to promote sustainable agriculture.
期刊介绍：
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
