About
The world faces the critical challenge of feeding an ever-growing population while minimizing environmental impact. Genetic engineering has emerged as a powerful tool in agricultural biotechnology, offering innovative solutions for crop improvement, resistance to pests and diseases, and reduced reliance on chemical inputs. This 1-month program delves into the fundamental principles of genetic engineering and its transformative applications in agriculture.
Participants will explore the role of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), gene editing tools like CRISPR, and other modern technologies in agricultural biotechnology. Through case studies and practical sessions, the course covers key aspects of genetic manipulation, regulatory frameworks, and the ethical implications of biotechnology in agriculture, preparing participants for advanced roles in this dynamic field.
Aim
This program aims to equip participants with a thorough understanding of genetic engineering techniques in agricultural biotechnology, focusing on crop improvement, pest resistance, and sustainable agriculture. Participants will learn how genetic engineering contributes to enhancing agricultural productivity and food security.
