Agricultural Biotechnology

Agricultural biotechnology is a field of study that involves using scientific techniques to modify plants, animals, and microorganisms to improve their agricultural productivity. Researchers in this field work on developing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that have desirable traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, or harsh environmental conditions. This technology aims to enhance crop yields, reduce the need for chemical pesticides, and improve the nutritional content of food. Agricultural biotechnology plays a crucial role in addressing food security challenges and sustainable agriculture practices.
