Biotechnology Innovations and Sustainability for Zero Hunger

About this book

This reference book extensively examines the important role of biotechnology in tackling the global challenge of achieving zero hunger. The book delves into cutting-edge advancements and challenges in food biotechnology, crop improvement, genetic engineering, and the utilization of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in sustainable agriculture. It provides a detailed examination of biotechnological interventions aimed at enhancing the nutritional content of crops, increasing agricultural productivity, and ensuring food security. Furthermore, the book explores the application of biotechnological techniques in improving animal-based foods, including advancements in animal breeding, genetics, and disease resistance. The chapters also address the integration of traditional breeding approaches with biotechnology for developing healthier and more productive crops. Additionally, the book introduces approaches for reduction of food waste through technological solutions, and the use of automation and robotics in food processing. This book is useful for researchers, academicians, and professionals of biotechnology, agriculture, food science, and sustainability.
