How can biotechnology help farmers overcome sudden changes in the global climate?
A
by changing the types of soil in which the crops are planted
B
by developing crops that are resistant to adverse weather
C
by rotating the crops within the same field
D
by only planting crops in the winter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Using agricultural biotechnology, plant and animal breeders can more quickly develop plants and animals that are adapted to changing environmental conditions, such as drought, increased temperatures, new diseases, and other stressors.

Detailed explanation-2: -No-till agriculture prevents soil erosion and promotes carbon sequestration, which is beneficial regarding climate change and farming. This method reduces soil depletion, improves its climate and natural environment as well as decreases inputs for tillage activities and maintenance of tilling equipment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The role of biotechnology in agriculture is multifaceted. With better disease control and increased tolerance to drought and flooding, biotechnology leads to a significant increase in crop production. The techniques of biotechnology serve as cost-effective solutions to problems about pests. More items
