Genetic engineering can help develop droughtresistant and nutrient-enriched crops from "summary" of Seeds of Science by Mark Lynas
Genetic engineering has the potential to address the challenges of feeding a growing global population in the face of climate change. By introducing specific genes into crops, scientists can enhance their resilience to environmental stresses such as drought. This could be a game-changer for regions prone to water scarcity, where traditional crops struggle to survive. In addition to drought resistance, genetic engineering can also be used to create nutrient-enriched crops. By manipulating the genetic makeup of plants, researchers have been able to increase the levels of essential vitamins and minerals in staple crops like rice and maize. This innovation holds great promise for combating malnutrition in developing countries, where access to a diverse diet is limited. One example of genetic engineering in action is the...
