What is the primary goal of genetic engineering in agriculture?
-
Creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with desirable traits
- Preserving traditional farming practices and crop varieties
- Eliminating the use of pesticides and fertilizers in farming
- Enhancing crop yields through traditional breeding methods
The correct answer is: A
