Breeding organisms
- Undertaking species breeding programmes
Description
Breeding organisms involves the deliberate selection and mating of plants or animals to enhance desirable traits, such as disease resistance, productivity, or adaptability. This strategy aims to remedy challenges like food insecurity, environmental stress, and declining genetic diversity by producing improved strains or breeds. Through controlled breeding programs, populations can be optimized for specific needs, supporting sustainable agriculture, conservation, and resource management while addressing practical problems in health, yield, and resilience.
