Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It has reduced reliance on chemical pesticides (pest-resistant crops) which is pocket-friendly for the farmers and eco-friendly for the consumer by eliminating harmful chemicals from the ecosystem. Post-harvest losses have been reduced by increasing crops’ abilities to withstand the transportation period.

Detailed explanation-2: -Products developed with agricultural biotechnology may contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as cover crops that provide sustainable biofuels, fruits and vegetables that stay fresh longer and reduce food waste.

Detailed explanation-3: -In this context, biotechnology becomes important because it allows farmers to grow more food on less land using farming practices that are environmentally sustainable.
