Description 793-799
The population of the world is increasing nearly exponentially over time. To feed this population following the environment
conservation protocol, it is essential to enhance the agricultural productivity even in the synchronizing agrarian land use pattern.
To enhance the quality and productivity in agriculture sector, introducing the cutting edge technology is need of the hour.From
ancient times, traditional approaches like selective breeding, adoption of agronomic management practices and application of
indigenous technical knowledge have been used to attain resilience against various abiotic and biotic stresses. However, these
traditional approaches are not sufficient to tackle the increasing repercussions of climate change and feed quality food to the
expanding population. Therefore, in order to address these issues of climate change, population explosion and malnutrition,
biotechnological interventions can be a promising approach. In the past, biotechnology based approaches have given successful
products like Herbicide-resistant Soybean, Pusa Basmati 1, Bt Cotton, Bt Brinjal, Flavr-Savr tomato, a therapeutically
significant product of Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Panax ginseng. Besides that many more need based products are in
pipeline which is under scrutiny of regulatory bodies, policymakers and environmentalists. It is profoundly expected that in the
coming day’s agricultural biotechnology applications will bring revolutionary changes to existing agricultural scenario.
Therefore, in this review, we have summarized the achievement of agricultural biotechnology that is assisting to enhance the
agricultural produce to double the income of farmers. However, this much is not enough; hence full utilization of all the
sustainable agricultural biotechnological tools must come into the existence that definitely will boost the agricultural
productivity.
