It is due to the genetic engineering that whole population on this earth is getting enough food to eat.
genetic engineering has made semi dwarf varieties of rice and wheat which made their growth in millions of tonnes.
It is due to the genetic engineering that pest resistance and insect resistance varieties of crops are grown.

The use of genetic engineering and the creation of genetically modified crops has resulted in many benefits for the agricultural world.


The most noticeable benefit is that genetic engineering has made it possible to produce more crops in a shorter time period. Due to the modifications that make crops resistant to diseases, it has been possible to increase overall yields.


Many genetically modified crops are also designed to grow at a faster rate, which also helps increase overall yield.Genetic engineering has also increased yield by making it possible to grow crops in regions that would otherwise be unsuitable for agriculture, such as areas with salty soil, areas that are drought prone and areas with low amounts of sunlight.


Through genetic engineering, crops have been modified to tolerate salty soils, be more drought resistant and increase their rate of photosynthesis to take advantage of limited sunlight.In addition to increasing productivity, genetic engineering has had several other benefits to agriculture.


By modifying crops so that they are resistant to diseases and insects, less chemical pesticides have to be used to combat diseases and pests. Also, if crops are genetically modified to include components of fertilizers, less chemical fertilizers have to be placed on the fields.


By reducing the amount of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, there will be less harm done to the environment. Genetic engineering has also made it possible to produce new varieties of crops by mixing genes from multiple different species.
For example, pluots are a new type of fruit that was produced when the genes of plums and apricots were mixed.
