The use of biotechnology to modify the genetic makeup of crops and livestock. Genetic engineering can improve traits such as yield, disease resistance, and drought tolerance. For example, developing genetically modified corn that is resistant to pests and herbicides.
self-regulating: Controlling itself without outside intervention. Most tropical rainforests are self-regulating environments. Farmers benefit from understanding self-regulating ecosystems for sustainable land management.
EA: Abbreviation for Environment Agency. Understanding the role of the EA can help farmers comply with environmental regulations and improve sustainable farming practices.
