Abstract

Biotechnology serves as an elementary factor in the advancement of modern agriculture, providing a range of pioneering solutions that have the potential to convert crop productivity, improve nutritional quality, and endorse environmental sustainability. This detailed review explores the diverse functions of biotechnology in shaping the future of agriculture. The applications of biotechnology in agriculture are extensive and significant, addressing aspects from crop enhancement to pest and disease control, soil health, and sustainable agricultural practices. However, the widespread implementation of biotechnology in agriculture also raises important societal, economic, and ethical issues. In terms of food safety, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic fairness, it is crucial to establish stringent regulatory frameworks and effective risk assessment protocols to responsibly implement biotechnological advancements. Building trust and gaining support for agricultural biotechnology requires addressing public perceptions and encouraging dialogue among stakeholders. Education, transparency, and active engagement with stakeholders are vital for effectively navigating the intricate landscape of biotechnology governance and creating a supportive environment for innovation. This review aims to enlighten policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders about the transformative capabilities of biotechnology in tackling urgent global issues like food security, climate change, and environmental sustainability. By seizing the opportunities presented by biotechnology, we can pave the way for a more resilient, fair, and sustainable agricultural future.
