Traditional breeding techniques have been used for years to alter the genomes of plants and animals. With the progress of science and technology, many achievements have been made by humans in the field of biology. Advances in genetic engineering have made it possible to precisely control the genetic changes introduced into an organism. Crops are…

Genetically modified foods will enhance food security. Food security is defined as ‘when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life’ (World Food Summit, 1996).
