Why Do We Have GMOs (Navajo)

This video reviews why humans modify crops. Many of these reasons are similar to what they were thousands of years ago, like preventing crop loss from pest and weather damage or growing more food on less land. Today, with genetic engineering, scientists can change and improve crops more easily and quickly.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched Feed Your Mind, the Agricultural Biotechnology Education and Outreach Initiative, to help consumers better understand genetically engineered foods, commonly called GMOs or genetically modified organisms.
