What are GM crops? GM crops are plants changed by humans. Foods from GM crops are often bigger than foods from traditional crops.  \nWhy are farmers growing GM crops? Some farmers think GM crops are safer than traditional crops. They think growing GM crops is easier than growing traditional crops because they don’t need to use pesticides.  \nSome consumers think that GM crops will be more expensive than traditional crops. They think that GM foods are healthier because they don’t go bad very fast. Many others think that foods from GM crops are not safe.  \nan acre: a piece of land measuring 4,840 square yards  \n B Check (✔) True or False.  \nTrue False  \n1. GM crops are the same as regular crops. ■ ■  \n2. Some farmers think growing GM crops is easy. ■ ■  \n3.
