biotech crops

Biotech crops are plants that have been genetically modified using biotechnology techniques to enhance specific traits such as pest resistance, drought tolerance, or higher nutritional value. This process involves inserting, deleting, or altering genes within the plant's DNA to improve its performance or adaptability. These crops are used in agriculture to increase yield, reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, and address food security challenges. While they undergo rigorous safety assessments, discussions about their environmental and health impacts continue. Overall, biotech crops aim to make farming more efficient and sustainable.
