Biotechnology in Agriculture

Feeding the World

Biotechnology uses molecular biology to improve crops and livestock.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

Crops are engineered for:

  • Disease resistance
  • Drought tolerance
  • Increased nutrition

Animal Biotechnology

Genetic tools help breed animals with desirable traits and produce medicines.

Environmental Benefits

  • Reduced pesticide use
  • Less resource-intensive farming

Looking Ahead

Biotechnology helps address food security and environmental challenges.

Examples

  • Golden rice is engineered with extra vitamin A to fight malnutrition.

  • Bt corn produces its own insecticide, reducing pesticide needs.
