Bioengineering facilitates the development of plants that can produce pharmaceuticals and industrial materials, adding significant economic value. Advances in synthetic biology are leading to the development of biofortified crops that address nutrient deficiencies, particularly in developing regions. Additionally, bioengineering innovations support sustainable agricultural practices by creating crops that require fewer inputs like water, fertilizers, and pesticides. These advancements collectively contribute to higher-quality agricultural products, increased market competitiveness, and better food security.
