Agricultural Solutions for Feeding a Growing Population: GM Organisms, Fertilizers, and Biological Control

The video explores three agricultural solutions to meet the food demands of a growing population: genetically modified (GM) organisms, fertilizers, and biological control. GM organisms, like Bt toxin-producing crops, offer insect resistance but may require additional insecticides. Fertilizers enhance crop growth but can cause environmental pollution if not managed properly. Biological control uses natural predators to manage pests, reducing chemical use but potentially disrupting ecosystems. The video emphasizes the need for diverse strategies to increase agricultural yields sustainably.
