OBJECTIVE:OBJECTIVE:

Todays challenges are various and contradictory. Todays challenges are various and contradictory. Increasing economic needs are needed in order Increasing economic needs are needed in order to provide a growing population. Negative to provide a growing population. Negative environmental impacts must be minimised and environmental impacts must be minimised and production has to adapt, to a rapidly and ever varying production has to adapt, to a rapidly and ever varying environment stemming from climate change.New environment stemming from climate change.New technology and New approaches such as technology and New approaches such as improving the needs through genetic engineering and improving the needs through genetic engineering and genomic assisted breeding and the use of recycled waste genomic assisted breeding and the use of recycled waste water are being developed.In this view,I deliver the water are being developed.In this view,I deliver the concept of biotechnology to mitigate climate change.concept of biotechnology to mitigate climate change.
