Biotech Crops
Biotech crops, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), are plants that have been altered using biotechnology to enhance certain traits. These modifications can improve resistance to pests, tolerance to herbicides, or increase nutritional value. Common biotech crops include corn, soybeans, and cotton, which are widely grown around the world.
The development of biotech crops aims to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability. By reducing the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, these crops can help minimize environmental impact. Additionally, biotech crops can contribute to food security by producing higher yields in challenging growing conditions.
