Humans have domesticated and modified several plants and animals over the course of history to achieve food security. However, drastic changes are required in order to meet the needs of a growing population while facing global warming. In particular, utilizing and improving the productivity of unutilized or underutilized resources such as minor crops, aquatic species, and insects are thought to be essential. Here, I will provide an overview of how humans have been modifying organisms by selective breeding, the role of genetics and genomics in modern selective breeding, and the challenges we are currently facing. This talk will be aimed at non-experts/non-biologists and will cover the basics of genetics.
