This narrative review paper discusses the role of biotechnology in development sustainable agriculture. The begins by defining sustainability and highlights importance establishing Sustainable agriculture is an approach that prioritizes meeting current food fiber production needs while conserving enhancing natural resources for future generations. To achieve agricultural sustainability, it necessary to strike a balance between economic viability, environmental stewardship, social responsibility. can be difficult, especially face biotic abiotic stresses such as pests, diseases, climate change, soil degradation, water depletion. prevalence pests diseases significantly diminish crop yields quality one greatest obstacles Biotechnology used create crops are resistant address these issues. Soil nutrient deficiency another obstacle agriculture, reduce plant health. has potential play significant developing more productive nutritious crops. However, at same time, essential ensure technologies developed responsible manner their benefits distributed equitably across communities regions.
