"What most people don’t know is the connection between GMOs and pesticides: the surge in genetically engineered crops in the past few decades is one the main drivers of increased pesticide use and chemicals in agriculture" Green peace.

CLAIM: A benefit is that GMO crops can be grown at a faster rate so that if you have a small growing season you can produce more with the GMO.
Evidence: "This fast-growing salmon is a genetically engineered salmon that grows to market size in half the time as conventional Atlantic salmon. This salmon grows to market weight in about 16 to 18 months vs. 32 to 36 months for conventional salmon. "
-
CLAIM: A set back for GMO foods is they could cause allergy's with the consumer not knowing, so you may have a hard time breathing from a food you've eaten many of times before.
Evidence: "a GM soybean that was potentially allergenic off the market. Researchers who tried to improve the nutritional quality of soybeans using a Brazil nut protein realized that they were working with an allergen and immediately stopped the work. This is strong evidence that scientific methods to prevent allergy-causing GMOs from reaching consumers are robust and work." geneticliteracyproject
