Feeding the world: Agricultural Biotechnology

With a growing population expected to reach 9 billion by the year 2050 agriculturists and engineers need to look at ways to feed this growing population with a sustainable food supply. One might say to simply grow more crops but with a growing population comes a lessening of space to grow these crops. This is why biotech engineers are creating new ways to make crops produce more food efficiently while not always needing as much space or other resources that could come in short supply.

  1. With the nation's population growing, land shortening due to it being bought to build houses, we are having a major issue here and it is not having enough food. I am so glad that the biotech engineers are finding a way to solve this problem
