Plants-genetic engineering: Crucial bond for agri-evolution

The history of agricultural evolution depicts the tale of mankind’s development along. As crop growth and livestock rearing techniques have been developed, so has human. From a food gatherer to a food producer, the man has come a long way. In old times humans used to grow wild plants which today we referred to as crops. Today’s crops embody the tale of the enhancement of technology decade by decade. But with the passage of time, the current environment, as well as the geological conditions, have altered which means the crops also need to be changed in terms of their adaptability, resistance and tolerance to pests (both Insects and Diseases) etc. These aforementioned changes in crops if occurs naturally, then it may take a few more decades but with the most powerful tool in hand i.e. Biotechnology, we now can mediate that change within a few years of hard work. Biotechnology is the most important component in the present times that can create variation and this variation paves the way for evolution.
