Biotechnology In Agriculture
The use of biotechnology in agriculture does not only allow for crops to grow more and under more difficult circumstances, it can literally make them better. In other words, science now allows us to introduce specific genes to increase the nutritional value of the crops. This has been attempted with rice, one of the world’s most eaten food, where scientists used genetic engineering to produce rice rich in vitamin A. What scientists noticed is that while rice already contains the genes that produce vitamin A, these get turned off as the rice grow; so what the scientists did was to reverse that process so that the vitamin A genes get turned on
