Biotechnology for Sustainability: Achievements, Challenges and Perspectives

World Environment Day (WED) is a global annual event celebrated each year on June 5 to promote the awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. This book is published to commemorate the world environment day-2017 (WED-2017). The main purpose of this book is to highlight – how biotechnology can contribute for the sustainable development and in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) adapted by the international community to improve the health of people and planet? This book contains 38 full-length articles contributed by various researchers, scientists and academicians. A prudent use of biotechnology in the biodiversity conservation, environmental protection, and production of more and better quality of food, fiber, fuel and drugs will contribute in achieving SDGs and to promote the peace in the world. This book will serve as a reference to various researchers, scientists, academicians and students involved in biodiversity conservation, environmental protection and various fields of biology and biotechnology.
