The document discusses the potential of plant breeding in agriculture and agribusiness. It lists advantages of genetic engineering such as job opportunities, technology advances to create new planting materials, food security, and increased yields while reducing production costs. Potential areas of plant breeding mentioned include producing hybrid, resistant, toxic, and herbicide-tolerant plants as well as value-added clones. The document also defines urban agriculture and lists opportunities in urban agriculture business such as soilless culture techniques, plant propagation, urban communities, and agritecture housing construction.

POTENTIAL OF PLANT BREEDING IN AGRIBUSINESS Advantages of using genetic engineering A) Job opportunities for researchers B) Technology advance in creating planting material C) To cater for food security for nation D) To produce high yield E) To reduce cost of Production Potential of Plant Breeding 1 Producing Hybrid plant 2. Producing Resistant Plant 3. Producing Toxic Plant to insect 4. Producing Plants to tolerance with herbicide 5. Producing value added clone Urban Agriculture Urban Agriculture is a practice of cultivating , processing and distributing food in around of village, town and city Urban agriculture can involved i) Animal Husbandry ii) Aquaculture iii) Horticulture What is potential and opportunity business in Urban Agriculture i. Soil less culture technique ii. Plant Propagation iii. Urban communities iv. Housing Construction in Agritecture
