Why is selective breeding important to agriculture?
Selective breeding of crops has been a tool of agriculture for thousands of years. Simply trying to breed plants to combine desired traits was and still is an important part of bringing about crops that yield more, stand better, or resist pests and disease more effectively. We farm many types of soils on our farm.
What is the importance of plant breeding to society?
It is a field that is essential to our survival and to the sustainable use of our agricultural landscapes. Breeding is necessary to develop resistance to diseases and pests, to drought and temperature extremes, and to improve quality factors that can positively impact the lives of people throughout the world.

What are the negative effects of selective breeding?
Risks: Selective breeding is also a risk of changing the evolution of the species and because humans are breeding different species for a particular trait this can lead for a risk of losing some of the other genes from the gene pool altogether which is very hard to bring back.
What are some facts about selective breeding?

When the process is repeated with the descendants of the selected parents and again over several generations, the desirable characteristics develop more and more.
