Selective breeding involves choosing specific traits to breed plants or animals with, while genetic modification involves directly changing the DNA of an organism. Selective breeding can take longer to see results, but is generally more accepted by consumers. Creating a GMO allows for faster and more precise changes to an organism's genetics, but some people are concerned about the safety of consuming GMOs.
