Sustainable development has become a priority for the world's policy makers. Among the broad range of technologies with the potential to reach the goal of sustainability, biotechnology could take an important place, especially in the fields of food production, renewable raw materials and energy, pollution prevention, and bioremediation. However, technical and economic problems still need to be solved. In some cases, the environmental impact of biotechnological applications has been misjudged; in other cases, expectations cannot yet be matched.
可持续发展已成为世界政策制定者的首要任务。在众多有潜力实现可持续发展目标的技术中，生物技术可能占据重要地位，尤其是在食品生产、可再生原材料与能源、污染预防及生物修复等领域。然而，技术和经济问题仍有待解决。在某些情况下，生物技术应用对环境的影响被误判；在其他情况下，预期目标仍无法实现。
