Approved Genetically Engineered Foods: Types, Properties, and Economic Concerns

A significant amount of research has been performed to investigate the impact of genetically modified foods (GMFs) on human health. GMFs have the potential to solve many of the world’s problems; for example, they can help with the current food crisis and can decrease the pollution rate by reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides since increased pest resistance is one of the most relevant properties of genetically modified organisms. The main goal of this review is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of GMFs (plants and animals) in human consumption and to dissect the economic concerns associated with their use.
