agricultural biotechnology

Agricultural biotechnology refers to the use of scientific tools and techniques to modify plants, animals, and microorganisms for agricultural purposes. This can include genetic engineering, where specific genes are added to enhance desirable traits like disease resistance or improved yield. The goal is to create crops that can withstand pests, diseases, and changing climate conditions, ultimately leading to more sustainable farming practices. This technology can help improve food security and reduce the environmental impact of agriculture while providing farmers with innovative solutions to grow food effectively.
