It is hard to be farmers. Cold weather can kill your plants. Bugs can eat your plants. Weeds(杂草) can hurt your plants. Your plants may need more rain than they get. Fruit and vegetables can go bad before you sell them. Some people say farmers can solve all these problems with GM food.
What is GM food? All living things have DNA. DNA tells how living things grow. These days, people can change the DNA that tells how food grows. When people change the DNA of food, it is called GM food.
Some GM food can grow in cold weather. GM food can stop bugs from eating it. GM fruit and vegetables can stay fresh longer. One day, GM food may be able to grow in dry land in Africa. It will feed people who do not have much food.
