Beyond medicine, the scope of biotechnology extends deeply into agriculture. With the global population rising exponentially, traditional farming methods struggled to keep pace with food demand. Biotechnologists developed Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to address this. Crops like Bt cotton and Bt corn were engineered to produce their own insecticides, reducing the need for chemical sprays. Similarly, crops have been modified for herbicide tolerance and enhanced nutritional value, such as "Golden Rice," which is engineered to produce beta-carotene to combat Vitamin A deficiency in developing nations. These advancements highlight the field’s potential to solve global food security crises.
