CRISPR is helping improve agriculture. For example, scientists used CRISPR to produce wheat that people with gluten problems can eat.
They are also used to make rice grow well and strong. For example, it prevents mushrooms from darkening too quickly.
The technology could also help farmers grow crops that survive the use of powerful chemicals to kill weeds. For example, it will be difficult for the machine to work properly and this will affect other parts of the facility that we do not want to affect. Despite these challenges, CRISPR has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and help people around the world.

Drought is a natural shortfall of precipitation and water resources. Its impacts extend beyond water resources, affecting society, living conditions, and the environment. To manage water resources sustainably major measures are to reduce soil erosion by implementing soil conservation practices, augment soil moisture to enhance the soil’s water retention capability, and retard rainwater drainage to increase water availability. Additionally, these measures aim to improve water use efficiency in agriculture, ensuring sustainable water management and optimal use of resources. Methods of Water Harvesting:
These methods are useful for groundwater recharge during deficient rainfall and flash floods, improving water availability by using techniques like dams, tanks, and percolation tanks. Promoting these methods helps mitigate drought impacts and ensures sustainable water resources.
