Agriculture Around The World Questions
The benefits of using biotechnology in agriculture include increased crop yields, improved nutritional content of crops, enhanced resistance to pests and diseases, reduced use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, improved crop quality, and increased tolerance to environmental stressors such as drought or extreme temperatures. Biotechnology also allows for the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that can have traits beneficial to farmers and consumers, such as longer shelf life or improved taste. Additionally, biotechnology can contribute to sustainable agriculture practices by reducing the environmental impact of farming and promoting more efficient use of resources.
