 New and Advanced Technologies in Plant Breeding (2026): Complete Guide to Modern Crop Improvement, CRISPR, AI & Precision Breeding Introduction Agriculture has always been the foundation of human civilization, providing food, fiber, feed, fuel, and raw materials for a growing global population. However, agriculture today faces unprecedented challenges, including rapid climate change , shrinking arable land, emerging pests and diseases, water scarcity, soil degradation, and increasing demand for nutritious food. According to global estimates, the world's population is expected to approach 10 billion by 2050 , requiring agricultural production to increase substantially while using fewer natural resources. Meeting this challenge is one of the greatest responsibilities of modern agriculture. Plant breeding has played a central role in improving crop productivity for thousands of years. Since the domestication of wild plants, farmers have continuously selected superior plants with ...
