the technology is less time-consuming than traditional breeding

aaronq · Answer

traditional breeding involved crossing plants, or breeding animals, to enhance a trait - which had to be done over many generations to obtain the desired outcome. Now, it is possible to insert a gene into an organism to express a desired trait (limited) without having to do spend time breeding.
