Genetically modified food or crops are plants that have been modified using genetic engineering techniques. Examples of GMOs include adding genes to certain crops to make them immune to insects or environmental conditions. Proponents of a GMO ban argue that their existence might have unintended effects on agricultural ecosystems including bees and other animals which depend on native crops for their survival. Opponents of a ban argue that the development GMOs has resulted in cheaper food being produced more quickly, in greater quantities, and with less calories and fat.

Yes but only cisgenic crop where the cultivator can prove that the end product could be bred using conventional methods modern plant breeding takes at least a year and upwards of +10 years, cisgenic breeding could speed this up significantly and could protect biodiversity which conventional breeding does not, there is an eu report on it.
