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: -Biotechnology contributes to sustainable agriculture by reducing the dependence on agro-chemicals, particularly pesticides, through the deployment of genes conferring tolerance or resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Reduced vulnerability of crops to environmental stresses. Increased nutritional qualities of food crops. Improved taste, texture or appearance of food. Reduced dependence on fertilizers, pesticides and other agrochemicals.
