Plant Biotechnology in Food Security

Nourishing an increasing global population necessitates new ways of improving crops, and plant biotechnology provides revolutionary solutions. The session will address biotechnological developments that improve yields, nutritional content, and tolerance of crops to environmental stresses. Scientists will address genetic modification techniques for biofortification, drought tolerance, and insect resistance, as well as genome editing technologies such as CRISPR for targeted changes. Case studies will feature success stories like Golden Rice, Bt cotton, and drought-tolerant maize. The session will also discuss the contribution of tissue culture, molecular breeding, and synthetic biology to speeding up innovation pipelines. The session will also touch on ethical issues, biosafety legislation, and public attitude towards genetically modified crops. Participants will learn how biotechnology connects science and policy to facilitate sustainable food production. By connecting technology with global issues, this session emphasizes the pivotal role that plant biotechnology plays in securing long-term food security.
