Key Drivers for Genetic Engineering in Agriculture Market

The genetic engineering in agriculture market is being driven by a number of important factors changing agriculture and global food security today. The most evident factor is the demand for higher yields and pest-resistance. Farmers are looking for answers to safely expand their efficiency and use fewer inputs and chemicals. Tightening climate change as well as loss of arable land is also encouraging adoption as genetically engineered seeds can be engineered to wilt less in drought, and resist salinity and stress.

Further supporting this innovation is the rising interest in sustainable agriculture, less reliance on pesticides, and greater investment by venture capitalists in agri-genomic initiatives. Lastly, in addition to supportive government policies such as increased government funding to production practice change, the reduced costs associated with genetic engineering in agriculture such as advances in biotechnology and Agri-genomics remain as a bonus to a sector currently altering the way we cultivate crops.
