The development of the world faces a recurring problem of hunger and food poverty. As one of the many potential biotechnologies that are available in different ways, agricultural biotechnology presents several solutions that can contribute to eradicating one of the world's major problems: poverty and hunger. The effects of hunger, poverty, malnutrition, and undernutrition are not limited to hunger and poverty alone. A global food shortage could be alleviated by genetically modified crops (GM crops) that possess genes from different species. A vital aspect of developing countries' food security is the impact of GM crops on the environment. In light of the growing population, this discipline will require more research to develop further. For more than half of the population, agriculture is their primary source of income or their main source of subsistence. It will be necessary to increase productivity and diversify products in the future thanks to agriculture biotechnology. It is imperative to maintain the productivity potential of natural resources available as well as increase output from the shrinking agriculture sector. This region is experiencing rapid changes in agricultural production systems. One of the biggest trends is intensive agriculture using high-tech to improve the genetics of crops. There is a great deal of potential for agricultural biotechnology to speed up the development of plant varieties with pro-poor traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, higher yields, and great nutritional value. Even though biotechnology is not the panacea to poverty alleviation, it does enhance other disciplines like plant breeding, integrated pest and nutrient management, livestock breeding, feed and disease management.
