Detailed explanation-1: -Plant Biotechnology has been instrumental in augmenting crop productivity to improve food, feed, and fiber security, and in reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biotechnology helps to identify the strains of bacteria most suitable for specific crops and soils and to multiply them for large-scale use. Much time will be required before genetic engineering is able to make available pest-resistant varieties of the most important crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -Within agriculture, the principal goal of modern biotechnology is to improve the quality, quantity, nutrition, taste, and shelf life of produce, ultimately enabling stakeholders to obtain greater yield with reduced energetic costs.
