This is the great hope for many scientists working in the field of biotechnology. Given that the world's population is rapidly growing apace, there is a need for ever more efficiency from the remaining agricultural land that people do not occupy. Biotechnology can certainly help to produce crops which fail less often, that are hardier when it comes to environmental conditions and less susceptible to blight. However, biotechnology alone cannot solve the sort of hunger that is derived from poor food distribution and waste.
