Question

Describe any five advantage of Biotechnology for agricultural development.

Answer 1

Farmers Benefit from Agricultural Biotechnology Seeds. Decades of documented evidence demonstrates that agricultural biotechnology is a safe and beneficial technology that contributes to both environmental and economic sustainability. Farmers choose biotech crops because they increase yield and lower production costs.Agricultural biotechnology is moving beyond input traits and is focused on delivering consumer health benefits. Over 10 new soybean varieties with human health benefits moving toward commercialization. Beneficial traits include lower saturated fat, increased omega-3 fatty acids and increased isoflavone content. Use of biotech plants can produce more food on less land, by reducing the amount of crops lost to disease and pests. It can reduce CO2 emissions from the farming process, the amount of pesticides used to produce foods, and in the future, the amount of water needed to grow crops.
