Using biotechnology on an environmentally sound basis
- Applying biotechnology on an environmentally sound basis
Description
Using biotechnology on an environmentally sound basis involves developing and applying biological techniques to address environmental challenges while minimizing ecological harm. This strategy focuses on practical actions such as engineering crops for reduced pesticide use, bioremediation of pollutants, and sustainable resource management. Its core intent is to harness biotechnology to solve specific problems—like soil degradation, water contamination, and waste accumulation—by providing effective, targeted, and less polluting alternatives to conventional industrial and agricultural practices.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
