Detailed explanation-1: -This can be achieved through biotechnology only. With biotechnology, high-yielding variety grains can be formulated that would be resistant to changing climatic conditions and they also show resistance to pests and insects. All of these can lead to an increase in the productivity of outputs.
Detailed explanation-2: -How could genetic engineering be used to produce a more successful crop in a hot, dry climate? non-essential DNA could be removed from the genomes of the crop plants. DNA from plants adapted to dry areas could be added to the genomes of the crop plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotechnology means artificially altering DNA in a context where only the genetic material of an organism is altered or artificially merging DNA from different species which would not reproduce on their own.
