Resilient Agriculture

Conventional agriculture has been transformed byautomation, robotics, andAI, which aid in tasks like weeding, crop health assessment, and pest detection. Despite these technological advancements, they may not be sufficient to combat the effects of rapid climate change. Scientists are exploring how crops have historically adapted to climate shifts, aiming to accelerate their evolution to keep pace with current climatic changes. This is where CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technology comes in, which differs from controversial GMOs byallowing selective DNA modificationsto speed up natural evolutionary processes without introducing foreign genes.
