Utilitarian Breeding

Utilitarian breeding is a scientific approach to selectively breeding animals or plants with the goal of maximizing overall well-being and utility. It involves assessing traits that enhance productivity, health, or resilience, aiming to produce offspring that contribute positively to society or specific needs. The focus is on improving outcomes by choosing desirable characteristics through careful, evidence-based methods, balancing ethical considerations with practical benefits. This approach is often used in agriculture and conservation to create stronger, healthier populations that serve human or ecological interests effectively.
