Is genetic engineering essential for agriculture?

yeast???Anyway , its when a geneticist takes genes from other sources, usually other plants, and integrates them within to genome of another plant.

For example if Plant A was really vulnerable to a certain virus, but plant B was not due to a certain protein. The gene for said protein would be cut from plant be and inserted in to the genome of plant A. Therefore conferring resistance to plant A, letting it grow without hindrance from the virus.

There is a lot of talk about GM food being bad, but there is nothing to worry about. and these added genes are just broken up like everything else, and all other DNA you ingest, in your stomach. It is broken down, and used to create (among other things) your genes! amazing. =-)

Once step closer to bigger yeilds and therefore more food for everyone. If only this organic fad would die out.
