Genetically modified food

For a lot of farmers genetically modified foods crops have become more popular. But is it right or even necessary to even use them? The video above is regards a debate on rice farming in Asia. Whether the use of GMO’s or organic farming practices are better for the people or not. I think it’s great that we have the technology to create new modified crops that won’t need pesticides, but there are a lot of potential problems with these crops. A few problems are, the possibility of cross pollenation between the natural and modified crops, another is the fact that the people that develop these technologies put patents on the seeds and fertilizers making them very expensive for the farmers that would like to use them. And as you see in this video sometimes GMO’s don’t bring more profits to the farmers. I found the video really interesting what do you think?
