Proponents argue that it is the best way to increased food production to meet the needs of an increasing world population. Some of those who are against are decrying its safety, arguing that many of the biotech companies developing GM crops are out to increase profits rather than looking after the welfare of end consumers of such crops.

One side alarms the public of its potential danger and risks while the other praises its benefits and advantages. If you just focus on the word war between the two factions, you can easily say that both parties may have a worthy argument on what they believe in. But once you take a look at the evidence offered by sciencStudy: GM Soy Yields Lesser Than Non-GM SoyPosted by Ardent Editor on  December 5th, 2015The main aim for GM crops is to create better yields and pest resistant crops that help improve or boost overall harvest and profits. This is what makes them appealing to farmers who are trying to find ways to improve their yields and earn more from what they cultivate. It is the same case with the popularity of cultivating GM soy- better yields and better profit margins.
