Genetic modifications in plants allow for increasing their nutritional content, such as golden rice enriched with vitamin A. This technology helps combat malnutrition and improve health in communities suffering from nutrient deficiencies.
Crops can also be modified to resist diseases and pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and protecting the environment. Additionally, genetic improvements contribute to higher agricultural productivity and meeting the needs of growing populations.
These applications are an important part of global food security efforts and improving food quality, while ensuring environmental safety and monitoring the spread of genetically modified crops.
