The development of pest-resistant crops aims to reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides, thereby promoting sustainable agriculture and minimizing environmental impact. These crops are engineered or selectively bred to express traits that deter or withstand pest attacks, improving crop yield and food security. Additionally, pest-resistant crops can enhance farmers' profitability and reduce the risk of pest outbreaks, contributing to more resilient agricultural systems.
Pest-resistant food crops offer several advantages, including reduced reliance on chemical pesticides, which can lead to lower production costs and decreased environmental impact. These crops also promote higher yields and better food security by minimizing crop losses due to pest damage. Additionally, they can support sustainable farming practices by encouraging biodiversity and reducing the risk of pest resistance development in pest populations. Overall, pest-resistant crops contribute to more resilient agricultural systems.

Integrated Pest Management
A pest can either steal nutrients away from a crop plant or damage the crop physically from the inside or the outside.
no, in some places they are shot because they are a pest to crops.
