Question

How can we increase the food production?

• A. By agrochemical based agriculture
• B. By Organic agriculture
• C. By genetically engineering crop- based agriculture.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

By genetically engineering crop- based agriculture.

Organic agriculture will help improve food production as it involves production system that relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions and does not involve the use of pesticides, fertilizers or other genetically modified organisms etc. Use of genetically modified crop-based agriculture techniques, on the other hand, will help increase yield and also provide the plants with resistance to diseases.

So, the correct option is 'By genetically engineering crop- based agriculture'.
