Role of biotechnology in sustainable agricultural development in the mekong delta

Tóm tắt

Sustainable agricultural development in the Mekong Delta faces significant challenges, including water scarcity due to prolonged droughts, salinity intrusion from rising sea levels, soil degradation, and increased pest and disease prevalence. These issues threaten agricultural productivity and food security, impacting the livelihoods of local communities. Biotechnology, with its diverse applications, has emerged as a promising avenue to address these pressing issues. This comprehensive review article examines the multifaceted role of biotechnology in fostering sustainable agricultural development in the Mekong Delta. It delves into the potential of genetic engineering, microbial technology, and precision farming to improve crop yields, enhance nutrient use efficiency, and develop climate-resilient crop varieties. The review also explores the application of biotechnology in livestock and aquaculture management, pest and disease control, and the valorization of agricultural waste, highlighting their contributions to environmental conservation and resource optimization. Furthermore, the article discusses the societal and policy implications of integrating biotechnology into the regional agricultural landscape, considering aspects of food security, equitable access, and community engagement. By synthesizing the current state of knowledge, this review provides a holistic understanding of the transformative role of biotechnology in shaping a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future for the Mekong Delta
