**11. Conclusion**

Genetic modified crops have all the potential for ensuring food security. There is a misconception present surrounding the GM crops that it is harmful for the nature and *Genetically Modified Food for Ensuring Food Security Issues DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.106810*

GM food brings harms to human health including cancer. This is due to total ignorance towards the scientific proofs that GM crops do not possess any of these threats under proper guidelines. The organic foods do not require synthetic fertilizer or insecticides or herbicides, but it is limited by the low productivity. It is easily understandable that organic farming cannot meet the required crops yield. High yielding varieties developed through conventional breeding methods, most of the time require heavy synthetic chemical inputs, including herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers. The harms that are brought to the environment through the heavy application of such synthetic chemicals is far more harmful. In recent years, GM crops with stacked traits has become more popular. In conventional ways, it requires a lot of time to develop a variety with multiple desired characteristics. That means GM crops can prepare us for future food security challenges. The GM crops need to be gone through proper regulations before being introduced in the market including health and environmental risk assessments. By far no GM crops available in the market for commercial use showed any signs of harm to human health. GM foods coming from GM crops are also properly regulated and labeled. The scientific community must work hard to make general people understand about this technology and its benefits to eradicate the misconceptions about GM crops and foods, whereas regulatory bodies should work through proper guidelines to gain people's trust so they can be attracted to GM crops or GM foods. Therefore, it can be concluded that with proper social acceptance, genetic modified crops can ensure food security for the future world.
