Benefits of organic food has been harped upon by many nutritionists, though many believe that the benefits of organic food is far greater than conventional foods it still stands as a perception more so than theory , however this does stand strong amongst many and perhaps the main reason behind the increased demand for organic food stuff.In the face of medical research however the increased benefits of organic food over conventional food stuff is yet to be proven, which has led the even the FDA and the USDA to claim that non organic food is just as nutritious as organic food stuff. However certain foods do carry some superior benefits of organic food, for example it has been revealed that organic milk and tomatoes are far superior to its non organic counterparts. For example organic milk is shown to contain more antioxidants and Omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins than non organic milk. These findings are according to the University of Aberdeen?s Danish Institute of Agricu ltural Research and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, who claim that organic milk is of better nutritional quality due to the fact that the cows are pasture grazed but also .The tolerance of herbicide is one of other benefits of genetically modified foods. Usually, the crops are sensitive for the other weeds in the field and due to the same, crop would produce less amount of production. In the conventional method, the farmer will have to spray chemicals in order to control the weeds, a few times. With benefits of genetically modified foods, farmer will have to use chemicals only one time and the benefits of genetically modified foods do the rest.

Due to the changes in climate, such as coldness, farmers are not able to do farming during certain periods of the year. Most of the foods do not tolerate extreme weather or climate changes, so as a result, crops may produce low volumes. In order to address this, genes of the plants that can withstand cold ness have been added to the food producing plants, making the latter category more cold resistant. This is one of key benefits of genetically modified foods. As another benefits of genetically modified foods, in some other countries, paddy has been developed genetically where they can withstand low water supply. Water is one of the burning issues in some of the developing countries.
