Answer:
Genetic engineering.
Step-by-step explanation:
Genetic engineering is a technology that involves recombinant DNA or RNA, through the genetic code, widely used by industrial agriculture. Through technology, the DNA of many plants has been modified so that crops are better protected against disease and pests, increase their resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions (such as drought and frost) and increase their reproductive rate. This has made crops produce more, the result of this is increased food production for the growing human population.
