Abstract
Developing a proficient sustainable agriculture under current context of major global threats (climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity diminution) combined with increasing population growth represents an imperative for conceiving a logical and consistent strategy planned to ensure the food and livelihood security. In spite of the advancements in agricultural production strategies, the present production rates failed to meet population needs, and the world is confronting food issues. The challenge is not only to feed more people, but to do so with less accessible arable land, fewer nonrenewable resources, and less water. The conceivable uses of biotechnology contribute to more environmentally and economically viable agricultural systems. Biotechnology has major potential for facilitating and advancing sustainable agriculture for enhancing the quality and quantity of food production as well as rural development. It is capable of contributing to agri-food sustainability by way of genetic improvement of most of our food crops and livestock.
