Genetic engineering has been used for decades to modify the genetic makeup of certain crops for beneficial traits like pest resistance and longer shelf life. The first commercially grown genetically modified (GM) vegetable, the Flavr Savr tomato, was approved for sale in 1994, marking a significant milestone in food technology. This process has since been applied to various vegetables and crops, becoming a widespread practice in modern agriculture.
