In an article released in GM Crops and Food, biotech experts Naglaa
Abdallah, Vivian Moses, and CS Prakash presented how biotech applications
can improve plant's tolerance to abiotic stresses brought about by climate
change. According to the article, developing countries, particularly those
in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa may face the gravest consequences of
climate change in food production. Genetic transformation and the resulting
GM crops are increasingly adopted around the world, and thus the technology
holds promise in addressing climate change problems in agriculture.
Nanotechnology and other emerging biotechnologies can also offer solutions
to devastating environmental changes that may occur.
