Answer:

improve resistance to pests, reduce the need for pesticides, and increase survival rates in adverse growing conditions.

Explanation:

In order to improve the quality of crops used to produce food, scientists can introduce new traits into plants. This is done by plant biotechnology, and manipulating plant genomes using advanced molecular techniques.

Examples of desirable traits needed for crops include the ability to tolerate a wider range of environments, improved resistance to pests, higher yields, better taste profiles, and larger fruit.
