Improving germplasm

Description

Improving germplasm involves systematically enhancing the genetic quality and diversity of plant and animal breeding materials to increase resilience, productivity, and adaptability. This strategy addresses problems such as crop failure, disease susceptibility, and food insecurity by collecting, conserving, evaluating, and selectively breeding superior genetic resources. The practical intent is to ensure sustainable agricultural systems, safeguard biodiversity, and provide robust solutions to environmental stresses and evolving pests or diseases.
