Abstract

Biotechnology has evolved significantly, impacting health, agriculture, and industry. This literature review synthesizes insights from key articles to illustrate biotechnology's transformative potential, alongside its challenges and ethical considerations. A systematic search of peer- reviewed articles from 2016 to 2023 was conducted, focusing on public acceptance, regulatory frameworks, and emerging technologies like CRISPR/Cas9. Findings reveal that public perception heavily influences the adoption of biotechnological innovations, particularly in food sectors where safety concerns prevail. Regulatory frameworks in the European Union and the United States often inhibit innovation due to stringent requirements, necessitating a balanced approach that considers both risks and benefits. The potential of synthetic biology and genome-editing technologies to enhance agriculture and health is substantial, yet ethical dilemmas, particularly regarding genetic manipulation and corporate control, present significant challenges. The review underscores the need for transparent communication, inclusive policies, and robust governance to ensure equitable access to biotechnological advancements. In conclusion, while biotechnology holds promise for addressing critical global challenges such as food security and climate change, its success hinges on navigating the complexities of public perception, regulation, and ethical considerations.
