Answer:
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.
hope it helps you.

Answer:
- Higher crop yield
With the rising population demand for food, it has become somewhat necessary to increase the yields of farms to fulfill that demand.
- Better Flavors
Believe it or not, genetic engineering can also alter the taste of food products
- Higher Protection of Crops
Farmers use newer developments in the section of pest control because if not, there is a risk of severely lowering of yields.
- Enhancements in Food Production Processes
Chymosin is an enzyme produced from genetically engineered bacteria.
- Increased Nutritional Value
Biotechnology doesn’t only make plants be more resistant to worsening climate change but literally makes them better. Specific isolated genes can even be inserted into the genome of plant species to increase their nutritional value
