Plant Biotechnology and Food Security

Adoption, Farming Systems, and Sustainable Development

About this book

The global agricultural sector faces mounting pressures from climate change, population growth, and the urgent need for sustainable food production. As the world moves toward a population of nearly 10 billion by 2050, innovative solutions are essential to ensure food security. Plant Biotechnology and Food Security: Adoption, Farming Systems, and Sustainable Development provides a comprehensive examination of how biotechnological advancements can transform agriculture, enhance productivity, and promote environmental sustainability. This book bridges the gap between traditional farming practices and cutting-edge technologies, offering a balanced perspective on the role of biotechnology in modern agriculture.

Key Features:

  • Agricultural Evolution and Biotech Integration: Examines the development of agriculture and the need for biotechnological advances.
  • GM Crops and RNAi Technology: Explores genetically modified crops and the use of RNA interference for creating stress-resistant crops.
  • Genome Editing and CRISPR: Discusses CRISPR/Cas9 and HI-Edit technology as tools for enhancing climate resilience in agriculture.
  • Genomics and Molecular Breeding: Focuses on next-generation sequencing and molecular breeding techniques for crop improvement.
  • Precision Agriculture and Biofortification: Highlights digital tools in agriculture, biotech for plant protection, and the role of biofortified crops in addressing malnutrition.

This book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, agricultural professionals, and students seeking to understand how biotechnology can drive food security while balancing economic, environmental, and ethical considerations. By presenting scientific advancements alongside real-world applications, it aims to foster collaboration in building a resilient and sustainable agricultural future.
