Abstract

Given the rising needs on the world stage for food and clean energy, the relationship between food production and biofuels is becoming more and more important. This abstract examines state-of-the-art processing methods intended to maximize the productivity of systems that produce food and biofuel. The review highlights the importance of sustainable practices and explores creative solutions that cross the fields of bioengineering and agriculture. The investigation starts out by going into detail on sensor technology and data analytics used in precision agriculture, which allow for real-time crop growth management and monitoring. The overview goes into detail about developments in crop breeding and genetic engineering as well as how resilient, high-yielding cultivars have been created to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions. The abstract then shifts to the generation of biofuels, outlining innovative techniques for biomass conversion with a focus on enzymatic and microbiological processes that maximize biofuel yields while reducing environmental effect. It also explores the possibilities of circular bioeconomy models, which efficiently recycle food production waste as feedstock for biofuels. By utilizing cutti ng-edge processing methods, we can create a resilient and sustainable future that ensures food security for all people while fulfilling the world’s growing energy needs in an environmentally responsible way.
