Can you imagine what would happen if the corn we grow are all eaten up by insects? We will not have enough food for everybody in the world! But not to worry, many crops including corn have been genetically modified to make them resistant to insects.

But is increasing food supply the only benefit that genetically modified organisms (GMO) have? And will the development of GMO result in any problems?
