Yes, artificial selection is still actively used today in agriculture to breed crop varieties with desired traits such as higher yields or disease resistance. It is also commonly used in animal breeding to produce livestock with traits like improved meat quality or milk production. Additionally, artificial selection plays a role in selective breeding programs for pets and ornamental plants.
