Which is a way the agricultural biotechnology industry could have a positive impact on the environment?
A
by producing crops that are virus resistant
B
by reducing the need for countries to import food
C
by making robots to replace large farm machines
D
by increasing the use of wind farms that produce electricity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Biotechnology has helped to make both insect pest control and weed management safer and easier while safeguarding crops against disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -3) How can agricultural biotechnology have a positive impact on the environment? By developing crops that are pest resistant requiring fewer pesticides to be used.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biotech crops that require less tilling may help to decrease soil erosion. And the development of plants that can grow in tough conditions, such as drought, or dry or poor soil, may make it easier to farm marginal lands, helping to keep fragile soils such as wetlands and rainforests out of food production.
