Some estimates show that the world will have to increase global agricultural production by sixty percent in order to meet rising food demand by 2050. What scientific solution would help with world food shortages?

Genetic Modification of crop plants.

Explanation:

Genetic modification alters the genome of an organisms through the use of biotechnological tools and advancements in molecular biology. Usually, DNA is swapped among organisms, and between species;  this is called transgenes. These altered plants are usually called transgenic organisms.

Some plants can be modified in several ways to meet global food security needs. These include:

-drought tolerance-plants grow in arid conditions with minimal water

-increased yield- plants produce more crop per input
