“…Overreliance on a limited pool of genetically engineered plants threatens the biodiversity. This homogeneity can make crops vulnerable to diseases, thereby weakening the resilience of ecosystems ( Caradus, 2022 ). Adding to ecological woes is the chemical residue left behind by synthetic growth promoters and pest control agents.…”

Vegetable cultivation stands as a pivotal element in the agricultural transformation illustrating a complex interplay between technological advancements, evolving environmental perspectives, and the growing global demand for food. This comprehensive review delves into the broad spectrum of developments in modern vegetable cultivation practices. Rooted in historical traditions, our exploration commences with conventional cultivation methods and traces the progression toward contemporary practices emphasizing the critical shifts that have refined techniques and outcomes. A significant focus is placed on the evolution of seed selection and quality assessment methods underlining the growing importance of seed treatments in enhancing both germination and plant growth. Transitioning from seeds to the soil, we investigate the transformative journey from traditional soil-based cultivation to the adoption of soilless cultures and the utilization of sustainable substrates like biochar and coir. The review also examines modern environmental controls highlighting the use of advanced greenhouse technologies and artificial intelligence in optimizing plant growth conditions. We underscore the increasing sophistication in water management strategies from advanced irrigation systems to intelligent moisture sensing. Additionally, this paper discusses the intricate aspects of precision fertilization, integrated pest management, and the expanding influence of plant growth regulators in vegetable cultivation. A special segment is dedicated to technological innovations, such as the integration of drones, robots, and state-of-the-art digital monitoring systems, in the cultivation process. While acknowledging these advancements, the review also realistically addresses the challenges and economic considerations involved in adopting cutting-edge technologies. In summary, this review not only provides a comprehensive guide to the current state of vegetable cultivation but also serves as a forward-looking reference emphasizing the critical role of continuous research and the anticipation of future developments in this field.

“…Furthermore, concerns about transgenic UVB-resistant crops' effects on ecosystems, biodiversity, and conventional farming methods are ethical issues that need to be taken into account [ 98 ]. Concerns about the unexpected effects on the environment are brought up by the possible unintended consequences, which include the spread of genes to wild relatives or the emergence of pests that are resistant to treatment [ 101 ]. Furthermore, it is imperative to tackle concerns pertaining to informed consent, transparency, and the fair allocation of advantages and disadvantages among various stakeholders.…”

“… 136 , 137 Some of the studies which have indicated potential issues related to health and safety with feeding GM crops have often required more detailed analysis and commentary. The critiquing of these trials has been reviewed 29 , 138 , 139 in an attempt to outline both sides of the debate. In all the food safety testing, the focus should be on the impact of the GM trait and not so much on the GM method used.…”

Innovation in agriculture has been essential in improving productivity of crops and forages to support a growing population, improving living standards while contributing toward maintaining environment integrity, human health, and wellbeing through provision of more nutritious, varied, and abundant food sources. A crucial part of that innovation has involved a range of techniques for both expanding and exploiting the genetic potential of plants. However, some techniques used for generating new variation for plant breeders to exploit are deemed higher risk than others despite end products of both processes at times being for all intents and purposes identical for the benefits they provide. As a result, public concerns often triggered by poor communication from innovators, resulting in mistrust and suspicion has, in turn, caused the development of a range of regulatory systems. The logic and motivations for modes of regulation used are reviewed and how the benefits from use of these technologies can be delivered more efficiently and effectively is discussed.
