assistant
There are many benefits to using genetically modified crops in agriculture.  The benefits include making the crops hardier with greater resistance to diseases and droughts.  The resulting crops can also make food more nutritious and taste better.  An additional environmental benefit of genetically modified crops is that they have the potential to reduce resources needed to grow, including water and fertilizer.
