Biotechnology and agriculture; Future prospects

Abstract

Biotechnology in agriculture has the potential to be a powerful tool to increase yield and quality in plant and animal production. It provides a significant contribution to product development, resistance to abiotic stresses, disease and pest management, and sustainable agricultural activities. Numerous biotechnological studies are being conducted to meet the needs of the rapidly growing world population in today's world where stress factors are extremely high, to eliminate food insecurity. But, it is necessary to eliminate public concerns about genetically modified organisms.
