The potential of advanced crop breeding technologies for sustainable food security

Considering the increasing demands of a growing global population, shortages of resources, and climate change, exploring the potential of modern plant breeding technology seems to be an important and feasible method for ensuring food security. The current review shed light on the dramatic application of modern plant breeding techniques, which not only increase yields of crops but also lead a way for sustainable agriculture and resilience in dealing with of environmental challenges. Modern plant breeding technologies, such as Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein (CRISPR-Cas) genome editing tools, omics, marker-Assisted Selection (MAS), and RNA Interference (RNAi) for Crop Enhancement exhibited the potential to significantly enhance crop production and diversity. Modern plant breeding technologies offers a method for developing crops that are resistant to the effects of climate change, pests, and diseases, improving crop yield and nutritional quality while decreasing the demand for harmful pesticides. Finally, this review emphasizes the enormous potential of modern plant breeding methods in ensuring global food security, as well as the importance of continued research, collaboration, and strategic application for a resilient and sustainable agricultural future.
