Abstract

Genetic engineering technologies in agriculture have emerged as powerful tools with the potential to address pressing challenges such as food security, environmental sustainability, and nutritional quality. The study focus on National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA).However, the adoption and implications of these technologies are subject to diverse perspectives and attitudes among stakeholders. This study aims to explore the current state of genetic engineering technologies in agriculture, their socio-economic implications, and regulatory frameworks governing their development and deployment. Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical research, this study investigates stakeholders’ perceptions and attitudes toward genetic engineering in agriculture. The research findings reveal a nuanced landscape, with stakeholders expressing a spectrum of opinions regarding the potential benefits and risks associated with genetic engineering technologies. In discussing the findings, it becomes evident that while there is optimism about the potential of genetic engineering to enhance food production and address food security challenges, concerns about sustainability, environmental impact, and regulatory oversight persist. Stakeholders differ in their views on the accessibility of these technologies to farmers and the effectiveness of regulatory frameworks in ensuring safety and environmental protection. The implications of the study extend beyond academic discourse to practical considerations in agricultural policy and practice. The findings underscore the importance of informed decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and ongoing research to navigate the complexities of genetic engineering in agriculture effectively. Recommendations are provided for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to promote inclusive dialogue, evidence-based policymaking, and sustainable agricultural practices. In conclusion, genetic engineering technologies hold significant promise for transforming agriculture and addressing global food security challenges. However, realizing this potential requires careful consideration of socio-economic, environmental, and ethical factors, as well as active collaboration and dialogue among stakeholders. By implementing evidence-based policies, investing in research, and promoting public education, stakeholders can work together to harness the benefits of genetic engineering while mitigating potential risks, ensuring a sustainable future for agriculture and food systems.

Aims and Objectives
  1. To assess the current state of genetic engineering technologies in agriculture and their potential for enhancing food production, sustainability, and nutritional quality.
