Abstract

The integration of biotechnology and genetics in agricultural biotechnology represents a transformative advancement in modern agriculture. This paper explores how the convergence of these fields has revolutionized crop production, pest management, and sustainability. Through genetic modification, gene editing technologies such as CRISPR, and biotechnological innovations, researchers have developed crops with enhanced traits, such as improved resistance to diseases, better nutritional profiles, and increased yields. This paper reviews the historical development, current applications, and future prospects of agricultural biotechnology. It also addresses the ethical, environmental, and economic implications of these technologies, providing a comprehensive overview of their impact on global agriculture.
