Plant and Animal Breeding Programs

Plant and animal breeding programs involve selecting and mating specific plants or animals to produce offspring with desired traits, such as higher yield, disease resistance, or better quality. These programs use scientific knowledge to improve varieties or breeds over generations. In plants, this might mean developing crops that grow better in certain climates. In animals, it could mean breeding livestock with better health or productivity. The goal is to enhance the usefulness, sustainability, and resilience of plants and animals to meet human needs efficiently and ethically.
