Introduction

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) soybeans have gained immense traction in the recent past, owing to their potential to alleviate hunger and poverty worldwide.

However, researchers from the Food and Agriculture Program have stated that real impacts of GMO soybean deserve in-depth assessment.

Amount of agricultural land utilized for producing GMO food such as GMO soybean has surged over the past few years, with majority of producers being situated in the U.S., Canada, India, Brazil and Argentina.

GMO soybeans have their genetic materials engineered via biotechnologies for engulfing enhanced and new characteristics such as drought tolerance, enhancement of certain nutrients, insect resistance and herbicide tolerance.

Benefits of utilizing biotechnologies for production of GMO soybeans include saving efforts & time and curtailing market risks for farmers, rather than enhancing productivity by improving yield.

Currently, demand for GMO soybeans is primarily driven by rapid adoption in animal feed as well as in the form of GMO soybean oil worldwide.

Although cultivating herbicide-tolerant soybean has lower risks to environment, the benefits are being restrained by herbicide resistance being developed in weeds.

GMO soybeans are one of the most utilized genetically modified plants across the globe, with majority of the applications in livestock feed and oil production. With demand for soybeans increasing globally as a protein source, GMOs hold potential benefits for producers.
