Advantages:
1. As more GM crops can be grown on relatively small parcels of land, GM crops are an answer to feeding growing world populations
2. More environment friendly as they require less herbicides and pesticides
3.GM crops are more productive and have a larger yield
4. Pest resistance: Since a lot of crops are lost because of pests, which lead to starvation in people and financial loss for formers. To prevent pests from destroying crops, farmers use a lot of pesticides. But people do not want to eat foods with pesticides. So, this is where GM foods come in. some foods like corn do not need pesticides and this also reduces the cost of growing the crop.
5. Herbicide tolerance: Herbicides are often used by farmers to kill weeds. This is not only expensive, but also a time-consuming process. Genetically modified crop plants do not need herbicide tolerant and this means that the crop would need lesser amount of herbicides.
6. Disease resistance: Many types of bacteria, fungi, and viruses can cause plant diseases. Biologists who are working on genetically modified plants that will be disease resistant. This way plants won't get destroyed due to disease.
7. Drought tolerance/salinity tolerance: GM foods include crops that can withstand high salt content in the soil or long periods of drought. This way, farmers can grow crops in inhospitable places too.
8. Nutrition: Malnutrition is a common problem in many countries. Poor people often rely on a single crop for most of their nutrition requirements. So, through genetic engineering, scientists are trying to make crops more nutritious, so that people are able to get nourishment through one kind of food.
9. Pharmaceuticals: Certain vaccines are being induced in GM foods, so that people are able to get their medical needs through foods.

Controversies
Safety
Potential human health impacts, including allergens, transfer of antibiotic resistance markers, unknown effects
Potential environmental impacts, including: unintended transfer of transgenes through cross-pollination, unknown effects on other organisms (e.g., soil microbes), and loss of flora and fauna biodiversity
Access and Intellectual Property
Domination of world food production by a few companies
Increasing dependence on industrialized nations by developing countries
Biopiracy, or foreign exploitation of natural resources
Ethics
Violation of natural organisms' intrinsic values
Tampering with nature by mixing genes among species
Objections to consuming animal genes in plants and vice versa
Stress for animal
Labeling
Not mandatory in some countries (e.g., United States)
Mixing GM crops with non-GM products confounds labeling attempts
Society
New advances may be skewed to interests of rich countries

YEah....GM food is the best!!!!!looks like clonning
