Advances and applications of Biotechnology in Agribusiness: an analysis of scientific production

Em Questão, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 31

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Abstract: Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary area that uses biological systems, living organisms and derivatives to modify specific products processes. In agribusiness, plays fundamental role in large-scale food production, being considered essential face crises. This bibliometric study aims analyze present the advances applications of agribusiness sector, using scientific production available main Web Science database from 2018 2023. applied agriculture encompasses genetic engineering techniques improve plants, animals microorganisms. addition contributing security, this aligned with several Sustainable Development Goals United Nations 2030 Agenda. It was found transversal theme covers more technical areas, mix topics such as nanotechnology, engineering, regulatory issues, risks positive negative impacts, innovation, forms seed reproduction, sustainability green applications. Authors, institutions countries stood out are from: States, China, India, Kingdom, Brazil, Korea, Poland, France Germany. research demonstrated order reduce risks, innovations arising new legal challenges faced by researchers field provided valuable insights, development promoting not only technological advances, but also addressing social environmental issues. demonstrating biotechnological range improvements agricultural crops creation biodegradable materials sustainable solutions.

Agricultural biotechnology: Potential, challenges, and debate

Plants People Planet, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 27, 2025

With a rapidly expanding human population, urbanization, poverty, and threats from climate change, new innovations are needed to achieve global food security nutrition requirements in just sustainable manner. Agricultural biotechnology has the potential step changes crop productivity nutritional content meet these needs whilst minimizing agricultural environmental impacts, but critical questions remain on how technology is developed used, for whom. This special collection collates latest thinking natural social sciences surrounding help engage, enrich, stimulate debate, inform policy.

Collaborations and Policy Direction for Sustainability‐Focused Gene‐Edited Foods Research

Sustainable Development, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 2, 2025

ABSTRACT Gene‐edited foods can contribute to adequate and nutritious food alleviate the challenge of feeding a growing population under severe constraints imposed by climate change land use. However, genetically engineered (GE) R&D, knowledge source for gene‐edited that focuses on commercial gains neglects sustainability outcomes, cannot be expected achieve longer‐term public good. To represent R&D outputs, we examined GE foods–related patents' abstracts, where found negligible mentions outcomes. correct embedding sustainability, through network analysis current ultimate parents co‐assignees, profiled past collaborations capable creating their research inclinations. On investigating entity types involved directly indirectly in these collaborations, observed near‐omnipresence national policy bodies institutes. Based insights superimposed prevailing socio‐technological conditions, proposed sustainability‐focused directions.

Parameters, practices, and preferences for regulatory review of emerging biotechnology products in food and agriculture

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11

Опубликована: Сен. 28, 2023

This paper evaluates the U.S. regulatory review of three emerging biotechnology products according to parameters, practices, and endpoints assessments that are important stakeholders publics. First, we present a summary literature on variables non-expert publics in governing biotech products, including ethical, social, policy process, risk benefit parameters. Second, draw from our USDA-funded project results surveyed with subject matter expertise about their attitudes towards risk, benefit, sustainability, societal impact parameters for assessing novel agrifood technologies, biotech. Third, evaluate food agricultural case studies have been reviewed under agencies laws Coordinated Framework Regulation Biotechnology, gene-edited soybeans, beef cattle, mustard greens. Evaluation process was based identified steps 1 2 which were deemed both stakeholders. Based this review, then propose several options federal strengthen oversight processes better align broader range support sustainable rely technologies. These include 1) those would not require new institutions or legal foundations (such as conducting Environmental Impact Statements and/or requiring minimal level safety data), 2) institutional cross-institutional framework developing publicly-available website performing holistic sustainability assessments), 3) additional authorities set health, environmental, socio-economic parameters). Overall, analysis will be guiding practice formulation assessment challenge existing frameworks.

Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Engineering: Products, Services, Technologies, and Social Inclusivity with a Gender Approach

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(5), С. 1888 - 1888

Опубликована: Фев. 25, 2024

Today, sustainable engineering faces challenges, highlighting the need to develop technologies and systems support these new projects services. These challenges aim achieve a balance between people planet. To this end, 17 Sustainable Development Goals 169 targets have been formulated, constituting internationally accepted global sustainability aspirations for 2030. address issue, it is necessary characterize its product life cycle; if there are models integration of in policies, strategies, programs public private institutions, what would be impact at economic social levels engineering, how gender approach areas since an inclusive part SDG 2030 plays relevant role? This research analyzes inclusiveness, products services sustainability, into development goals technology, reviewing whether equality or equity present their application development. study highlights initiatives most used technological tools. The PRISMA protocol directed study, which identified 252 pertinent articles analysis suggested effective practices employing products, services, advance near term.

The use of artificial intelligence in the production of genetically modified (GM) crops: a recent promising strategy for enhancing the acceptability of GM products ?

Deleted Journal, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 6(11)

Опубликована: Ноя. 1, 2024

The acceptance of genetically modified (GM) crops is still a controversial topic that presents major obstacles to their general use. Few studies, nevertheless, have emphasized the use artificial intelligence (AI) in forecasting dangers GM crops. This review delves into emerging field applying AI forecast hazards linked and examines how it could increase public products. algorithms, predictive modeling approaches examine enormous datasets include genetic, environmental, agronomic factors. Utilizing AI, researchers may accelerate risk assessment procedures on safety effectiveness In addressing concerns skepticism, AI-generated assessments foster transparency confidence among consumers, regulators, stakeholders, thereby might fostering greater Although lack available data genetic modifications or developing crop varieties, amount training validation needed for algorithms before they can be trusted, complexity models, ethical issues about like privacy algorithm bias, present difficulties precise AI-driven assessment. outlines recent developments future directions utilizing as promising strategy enhance acceptability
