Agricultural Biotechnology
Agricultural Biotechnology refers to the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, to improve plants, animals, and microorganisms for agricultural purposes. This technology allows scientists to modify the genetic makeup of crops to enhance desirable traits such as resistance to pests, improved nutritional content, and increased yield.
By applying biotechnology, farmers can grow crops that require fewer chemical inputs and are more resilient to environmental stresses like drought or disease. This can lead to more sustainable farming practices and help meet the growing global demand for food while minimizing the impact on natural resources.
