👉 Palm engineering, also known as palm oil biotechnology or advanced palm cultivation, refers to the application of modern biotechnological techniques to improve the yield, quality, and sustainability of palm oil production. This includes genetic modification to enhance traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and oil content, as well as the development of high-yielding, disease-free palm varieties. Additionally, it encompasses precision agriculture methods like gene editing and marker-assisted selection to optimize growing conditions and reduce environmental impact. Palm engineering aims to address global challenges such as food security, climate change, and economic development in regions heavily reliant on palm oil production.
