One example would be the chemicals they use in the soil to make the plants grow faster and another example would be chemicals they use to kill pest so they wont eat the crops or you could say bioengineering has enhanced the crops

Advances in science and technology have contributed significantly to the production of food in the world. Production capacity in agriculture has grown by 2.5 to 3 times over the past 50 years. This allowed, at a global level, that the increase in food production accompany the population increase.

An example of how technology has contributed to the increase in food production in the world is Transgenia. Through transgenic seeds, it was possible to plant crops that are more resistant to pests and to periods of drought, in addition, the transgenic crop has created crops with greater productivity. This has contributed greatly to the increase in food production.

Another example is the use of increasingly technological agricultural machinery, which can carry out agricultural work faster and more efficiently, reducing agricultural losses and contributing to increased production.
