Conducting research on GM crops

Around the world, genetically modified (GM) crops are used to improve agricultural activities and combat climate change. These crops possess many novel properties including herbicide and virus tolerance, resistance to drought and salinity, and useful excretion during growth.
Although the use of GM crops remains a contentious issue, it is considered a solution to several food and agricultural problems. It can speed up food production for the fast-growing population, reduce the use of pesticides and fertilisers, and help combat global warming. However, it threatens biodiversity because of the adverse effects of the crops, and the long-term impact it has on humans remains unknown. Nonetheless, many countries such as the US, Argentina, Brazil, China, etc have been leaders in GM crops. Considering that Bangladesh should conduct its own research to see whether these crops will be good for us and our environment or not.
