Role of biotechnology in creating sustainable agriculture

Abstract

essential to achieve a balance between social duty, environmental stewardship, and economic success. 
This can be challenging, particularly when dealing with biotic and abiotic challenges such illnesses, pests, 
soil degradation, water depletion, and climate change. One of the biggest challenges to sustainable 
agriculture is the proliferation of pests and illnesses that may drastically reduce crop yields and quality. 
To solve these problems, biotechnology can be utilised to develop crops that are resistant to diseases and 
pests. Another barrier to sustainable agriculture is soil nutrient deficiency, which can lower plant health 
and crop output. The development of more productive and nutrient-dense crops might be greatly aided by 
biotechnology. On the other hand, it is crucial to make sure that these technologies are developed 
responsibly and that their advantages are shared fairly among groups and geographical areas.
