AIM & SCOPE

The remarkable advancement of biotechnology has initiated a novel era of innovation, profoundly altering various fields, such as environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity. Biotechnological interventions present possible answers to the growing environmental problems of pollution, climate change, and depleting natural resources, as well as the increasing need for food to feed a growing world population. This book, “Prospects of Biotechnological Approach in Environment and Agricultural Fields,” explores the breakthrough potential of biotechnology in resolving these significant issues. The integration of biotechnological tools into environmental science has created new opportunities for pollution reduction, waste management, and ecological restoration. Biological remediation, microbial-based valuable products, and genetic engineering of plants and microorganisms demonstrate the significant potential of biotechnology in developing sustainable environmental solutions. In the agricultural sector, biotechnological techniques including recombinant DNA technology and CRISPR Cas9 genome editing are transforming crop yield, improving resilience to pests and diseases, and fostering sustainable farming methods including advance organic farming, hydroponics and aeroponics. This book seeks to deliver a comprehensive examination of the scientific and practical uses of biotechnological methods in these essential domains. It examines the scientific foundations that underpin these technologies, their present condition, and their future potential. We focused on both the advantages and the challenges of implementation, including ethical issues, regulatory obstacles, and possible environmental effects. This exploration aims to enhance the discourse on biotechnology's role as a catalyst for environmental and agricultural innovation. This book will be a significant resource for professionals in academia and research, offering insights into the amalgamation of advanced science with concrete solutions for a sustainable future. We express our appreciation to the scientific community for their unwavering quest for knowledge and innovation, which underpins this effort. The scientific comprehension of biotechnology opportunities facilitates a healthy relationship between people and nature, safeguarding the welfare of future generations.
