Agricultural Biotechnology
Agricultural biotechnology, also known as agritech, is the application of scientific techniques to improve and modify plants, animals, and microorganisms used in agriculture. It involves the use of genetic engineering, molecular markers, and other biotechnological tools to enhance crop productivity, nutritional value, and resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses.
It has potential to revolutionize agriculture by addressing global challenges such as food security, climate change, and resource constraints. However, it is essential to carefully consider the ethical, environmental, and social implications of its use.
