A disease resistance culture saves a lot of money spending on pesticides. What is more it reduces losses. That could be a relevant chance to agriculture, which could be more effective. .
             Faster Growth.
             In the countries with short growing seasons genetic modification of organism brings another opportunity. Corps can be altered to make them grow faster. Thanks that agricultures can extend the range of food corps into a new areas. What is more it is possible to collect more corps in the same season. The biggest production helps the farmers to be more effective and to increase their profits. .
             However, there is an argument that contradicts the point in GM crops helping the increase of crop yield. It is claimed by Mexican Research Scientist, Dr. Antonio Serratos (2008) that production of GM food is unpredictable resulting in the evolution of a mutated version of the actual species. The unpredictability also questions the production of GM crops being more efficient than traditional methods. As refered the example before regarding the creation of drought-resistant crops, the essence of drought-resistant can also be transferred to weeds. Hence, evolving weeds into drought resistant weeds. This in turn will lead to increased use of fertilizers or even higher potencies fertilizer to get rid of the GM weeds which instead do more damage to the ecosystem than by traditional breeding. Therefore, an increased in enhanced weed could also lead to a reduction in crop yield.
             More Nutritious Food.
             Genetically engineers can enrich plants and animals to produce biggest amounts of essential vitamins and minerals. This opportunity could be helpful in nutrition problems in some parts of the world. Corps can also be altered in order to change the amounts of protein or fats. That could be useful in the production of healthy food. Nowadays the market of healthy food is growing in the rich countries and might be a quite profitable idea for starting own business.
