As the world population is exploding and alongside fluctuations in
climate is also prevalent, there is an increasing stress on the
food requirements of the population. We have an urgent necessity to
produce more food in the limited agricultural land. Further, to
feed 7 billion people there is a requirement of high yielding
crops, without harming environment and limiting the use of
unnecessary pesticide and chemical fertilizers. Therefore it has
become crucial to develop agri-bio-techniques which are environment
friendly and also give high crop productivity. Many countries are
evaluating the utility of biotechnology and its role in addressing
problems of food security and poverty. Biotechnology is the
application of scientific and engineering principles to the
processing and production of materials by utilising biological
agents. These agents are exploited to provide goods and services.
Agricultural biotechnology encompasses a growing list of techniques
that range from simple probes to determine a relevant gene from the
complete genome to manipulating genes for a desired outcome. Many
other popular methods used in the realm of agricultural technology
are - gene integration, Marker-assisted breeding, Tissue culture,
Gene profiling or association mapping, Metabolomics etc. The
fundamental challenge facing the scientific community is how to
devise innovative strategies that will bring all developed as well
as developing countries into the "biological fold" and to do so in
ways that will take full advantage of advances in the biological
sciences to curb poverty, improve public health, and promote human
development. This book contains information on eco-friendly
techniques for high crop productivity and it is a myriad of
different techniques and technology used to sustain productivity in
crop plants. There are fewer books focusing on large-scale organic
farming, molecular farming etc. Multidisciplinary research and
literature is needed to deliver knowledge and products into the
marketplace which fulfil these requirements. The present book is a
collection of literature contributed by experts, scientists,
professors, and researchers from around the world, it emphasizes
work of concerned scientist and his choice of techniques used for
enhancement of agricultural production. This book analyses the use
of modern techniques to increase crop yields, production, and risk
of hunger linked to socioeconomic scenarios.
