Benefits :check:
Pollution fighting trees.
"The modified poplars just generate a lot more of a key enzyme, and thus work far more quickly — breaking down the dangerous molecule into harmless byproducts roughly 100 times faster than normal plants." Britannica
Insect or Herbicide Resistance.
This can make it so that do not have to use as many pesticides, so it will not cause super bugs.

Maize
Statistic: In africa's productivity would go up 1.5x the normal amount.
Claim
GMOs can help the environment by by fighting off air pollution by absorbing only CO2 cfom the air. .
"Both unaltered poplars and the genetically engineered variants produce enzymes that break down trichloroethylene. The modified poplars just generate a lot more of a key enzyme, and thus work far more quickly — breaking down the dangerous molecule into harmless byproducts roughly 100 times faster than normal plants."
Some machines used to put in different genes produce pollution
Claim
GMOs could potentially be bad but with enough work we could make them better for us.
"After genetically modified foods were introduced in the United States a few decades ago, people independently reported toxic effects caused by GMOs. One example is an anti-GMO advocacy group called the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), which reported that rats fed a diet containing a GMO potato had virtually every organ system adversely affected after just ten days of feeding."
