Genome editing is a potential gamechanger in the development of climate-smart crops, according to researchers from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in their chapter in the book Microbiomes and the Global Climate Change. With the impact of climate change on agriculture and food security, there's a greater need for advancements in the development of climate-smart crops to provide high yields and elevated levels of micronutrients. Genetic engineering has contributed to this effort; however, some crops are difficult to modify through this process.
