Genetically modified crops good for health as well as environment. Generally, genetically modified crops to resist the herbicide, is there any effect on environment.
Genetically modified foods for the environment can tolerate transport for long distances and are conservative in their freshness and also to improve quality, either as food that is thought to be harmful to health because it is genetically modified ...
The idea of a genetically modified plant is mainly based on the principle of transferring genes from one plant to another so that the new product has a number of desirable traits. Concerns, risks and potential disadvantages are focused on health risks, environmental damage, and economic impacts. "Perhaps one of the most important criticisms, many people are concerned about its future effects on humans and the environment, and that it is more complex than anyone would predict, and they say that cannot believe this from the example of the animal feed that led to the emergence of mad cow disease. Small multinationals are the ones who control the global market and increase the influence of rich countries on poor countries even in their own countries, not to mention that the economies of various countries may collapse as a result of the recession of their national products such as sugar, cocoa butter, etc., because of the alternatives produced by the modification technology Winnie.

My experience working for a commercial organisation growing cotton from 2000-2003 (so not current) was that we sprayed the BT cotton for cotton boll worm much less than we sprayed the conventional cotton. For example, 8 sprays per crop versus 3 sprays per crop if I remember correctly. So, there is a potential environmental benefit here.
In addition, for farmers in developing countries growing BT crops there is a potential human health benefit. Why? Insecticides are often the most damaging of pesticides to human health, and it is common for people in developing countries to not have adequate protective clothing or equipment. I have seen farmers in various developing countries applying pesticides with hand sprayers and no protective clothing. BT crops can reduce the amount of spraying and provide health benefits for farmers.
