The Science of Growth: Exploring Agricultural Biotechnology

Fernando Sucre

Agricultural biotechnology is a field of science and technology that utilizes biological processes, genetic engineering, and molecular biology to enhance and modify agricultural crops and animals for various purposes. It represents a significant advancement in the agricultural sector, offering innovative solutions to address the growing challenges of food security, sustainability, and environmental conservation. This branch of biotechnology encompasses a wide range of applications, including the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the manipulation of plant and animal genomes, and the use of biotechnology tools to improve crop yield, quality, and resistance to pests and diseases. Agricultural biotechnology also plays a crucial role in the production of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and other valuable products derived from agricultural resources.
