How do I differentiate GMO from other crops
Crops improved through genetic modification are not any different from their conventionally bred counterparts, other than for the trait conferred by the new gene introduced. For example, an insect resistant maize (Bt maize) is visually the same as any other maize of the same variety, only that it is resistant to pests such as Fall Army Worms and stalk borers.
