उत्तर

Yes, Genetic engineering could indeed be the wave of the future due to its ability to introduce desired genes into organisms irrespective of species barriers, allowing rapid and precise crop improvement. This technology enables the development of plants that are resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses and can improve nutritional quality, thus promising higher yields and food security. It also reduces reliance on chemical pesticides, lowering costs and health risks. However, concerns about environmental hazards, human health risks, and ethical issues remain, which require careful regulation. Overall, genetic engineering holds great potential for sustainable agriculture and food production.
