For some food crops, in order to include resistance to certain pests, diseases, environmental conditions, reduction of spoilage, it is important to genetically modify the crops.
<u>
Explanation:</u>
In order for Jeffrey M Smiths proposed change in crops to succeed Genetically modified crops or GMC techniques are to be followed.
In the GMC technique, the DNA of the agricultural plants has been altered using some methods of 'genetic-engineering'.
The ultimate goal is to introduce a new feature that doesn’t occur to the plant naturally.
For some food crops, in order to 'provide resistance to certain pests', resistance to some chemical treatments, diseases, environmental conditions.
In 'reduction of spoilage', or even to improve the 'nutrient profile' of the crop etc., it is important to genetically modify the crops.
Farmers have widely adopted to this Genetically modified crops technology.
