Skolkovo (Russia), Dec 30 (ANI/ TV BRICS): The scientists at Skoltech Agri-technologies Design Centre are using the latest breeding technologies to produce plants with special qualities. They are producing wheat that can grow in permafrost and other forage crops that are immune to diseases and pests. They grow twice as fast and can easily take root where they have not previously been seen. For example, the bean crop guar, originally from India is gaining popularity all over the world.The gum contained in it is used in cosmetics production, the food industry and even for treating oil wells.Digital technology makes it possible to predict what characteristics a prototype will acquire. As a result, you get a plant with the right characteristics.Analysts predict that the world's population will increase to 9 billion people by 2050. This means that food production will also have to increase. Experts believe that new breeding technologies will help achieve the sustainable development goals, mitigate the impact of climate change, and ensure food security.
