The growth and productivity of developed plant varieties are seriously threatened by climate change, prompting concerns among plant scientists regarding the capacity to feed the world's expanding population in a sustainable manner. Biotechnology can be a key component in the development of sustainable agriculture among farmers; helping them economically, and it can reduce the hazardous chemical inputs in the fields; resulting in healthy environment for living. Soil fertility and crops health can be increased by the use of biofertilizers, biopesticides, and addition of advantageous microorganisms to the soil. The challenge to control the losses in crop production caused by various pests, insects, and plant pathogens can be fulfilled precisely by integrating the biotechnology approaches in agricultural practices. The biofortification of useful traits in staple crops to overcome malnutrition from developing nations can be done by using biotechnology tools. Effective regulatory policies are necessary to ensure the safe adoption of this new technology in agriculture. Agricultural biotechnology advancements enable a deeper understanding of the primary reasons behind crop losses and failures under stress conditions, and this knowledge is important for creating high yielding and climate resilient varieties.
