Descripción
The Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/International Atomic Energy Agency (FAO/IAEA) Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture assists member countries in the application of radiation-induced mutation breeding technologies for the improvement of existing and local crop varieties. Through the development of resilient varieties with higher yields, improved quality and greater tolerance to environmental stress, such as disease, drought and salinity, these va rieties contribute considerably and sustainably towards global food security and the enhancement of biodiversity.
