Thesis Abstract

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification or biotechnology, has revolutionized the field of agriculture by allowing scientists to manipulate the genetic makeup of plants and animals. This project aims to explore the pros and cons of genetic engineering in agriculture, examining its potential benefits in terms of increased crop yield, pest resistance, and nutritional enhancement, as well as the concerns surrounding environmental impact, food safety, and ethical considerations. By critically analyzing the existing literature and conducting interviews with experts in the field, this project seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of genetic engineering in agriculture.
