Genetic modification is a new and unnatural process.
Reality Genetic modification occurs in nature all the time. Plants often spontaneously change their DNA in response to external forces, which is another example of genetic modification or change. Plants have been selectively crossbred for centuries. Farmers and scientists have genetically modified almost everything we eat today over the years to grow in difficult conditions, give better yields or offer specific benefits to consumers. It allows us to improve crops in a much more exact manner than through traditional plant breeding techniques.
