“…Most of the conventional approaches to address these issues have worsened environmental impacts rather than mitigating them [10]. In the quest for alternatives, environmental biotechnology has successfully contributed to the sustainable utilization of natural resources, bioenergy alternatives [11], urban solid waste management [12], sustainable construction [13], and pollution avoidance [14].…”

“…Additionally, it can simplify food waste management processes by addressing lignin modification in plants, a critical structural component of agricultural residues. Incorporating these genes allows for an economical and practical approach to bioethanol production, one of the most common biofuels [10]. Biofuels are alternative fuels, such as Vegetable oils, animal oils, and ethanol.…”

CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as the predominant method for genome editing due to its cost-effectiveness and broad applicability, playing a crucial role in advancing sustainable practices across various sectors. This systematic review leverages the PRISMA methodology to explore CRISPR/Cas9's impact on environmental protection, thereby supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Analyzing data from the Web of Science, the review found significant growth in related publications, with a 30% increase since 2014, predominantly from the US, China, Germany, and the UK. The study categorizes the scientific developments into three trends: advancements in agriculture, gene editing techniques, and biofuel production. Key discussions include the use of CRISPR/Cas9 in developing fourth-generation biofuels and environmental biosensors, as well as its applications in enhancing genetic resilience and controlling invasive species. These innovations highlight CRISPR/Cas9's potential in promoting sustainable resource management and energy generation, marking a pivotal contribution to ecological conservation and sustainability efforts.

“…However, mutagenesis is a random process that results in several undesirable genetic changes. One of the most advanced and preferred techniques for enhancing crops with desired traits is transgenic development by inserting functional genetic components [18]. Transgenesis has several benefits, one of which is the ability to cross the species barrier and make use of the entire gene pool.…”

Phytophagous insects pose a significant threat to global crop yield and food security. The need for increased agricultural output while reducing dependence on harmful synthetic insecticides necessitates the implementation of innovative methods. The utilization of CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technology to develop insect pest-resistant plants is believed to be a highly effective approach in reducing production expenses and enhancing the profitability of farms. Insect genome research provides vital insights into gene functions, allowing for a better knowledge of insect biology, adaptability, and the development of targeted pest management and disease prevention measures. The CRISPR-Cas gene editing technique has the capability to modify the DNA of insects, either to trigger a gene drive or to overcome their resistance to specific insecticides. The advancements in CRISPR technology and its various applications have shown potential in developing insect-resistant varieties of plants and other strategies for effective pest management through a sustainable approach. This could have significant consequences for ensuring food security. This approach involves using genome editing to create modified insects or crop plants. The article critically analyzed and discussed the potential and challenges associated with exploring and utilizing CRISPR-Cas technology for reducing insect pest pressure in crop plants.
