Genetically modified means gen splicing in the lab, for the specific ends of letting the plant in question be "immune" to some herbicide or pesticide. It benefits no one but the patent holder. And it risks a great deal - and one result is super-weeds that are also immune to the chemicals.

Gee, what a great outcome...
