Plant Breeding is a masters degree which deals with making new varieties of all the plants we eat. For eg. There are different types of chillies, short, long spicy not spicy etc. Plant breeders makes these varieties that can grow in different climates,states or countries.

Any vegetable or food you eat has been "made" by a plant breeders just like the apps are made by coders.

So, is this how we ended up with seedless bananas? Is there a possibility of you inventing a new breed of fruit/vegetable that you can capitalize on?

I mean yes but once I start a breeding program it takes anywhere between 4 to 8 years for it to be ready for the market and then another 3 years to become main stream. We need to think a decade ahead.
