Abstract
With the growing global population and the challenges of environmental change, genomics has a crucial role to play in improving agricultural yield and sustainability. This article reviews the application of genomics in crop, animal husbandry, fishery and forestry in the past five years. In crop production, genomics has facilitated the genetic improvement of major crops such as rice, wheat, and maize, which have improved crop nutritional value, yield, and resistance to abiotic stresses. In the livestock industry, genomics research in poultry and other livestock has driven breeding improvements and enhanced animal health and productivity. Fisheries use genomic resources for population management and conservation to achieve sustainable development. In addition, the application of genomics in forestry also shows great potential. Overall, the application of genomics not only improves agricultural productivity, but also helps to address the challenges of global food security and environmental protection.
