Agricultural biotech, or agricultural biotechnology, refers to the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, and tissue culture, to modify plants, animals, and microorganisms for agricultural purposes. Its primary aim is to enhance the traits of crops and livestock, such as increasing resistance to pests and diseases, improving nutritional content, and enhancing growth rates or crop yields. Agricultural biotech can involve the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that possess specific traits, which can help address challenges like food security, environmental sustainability, and resource management. By manipulating the genetic makeup of organisms, agricultural biotech seeks to produce varieties that can thrive in diverse and changing agricultural conditions.
