Abstract

Bangladesh is constantly challenged by attaining agricultural sustainability and nutritional security. Genetic modification of plants and animals has emerged as the revolution for circumventing these challenges by improvement of crop performance, productivity and nutritional quality of livestock. The overall aim of this study was to assess a correspondence of outcomes associated with genetic modification during the period between 2014 and 2023 to national priorities based on a sustainable and nutritional. The research was conducted on secondary data, focused on two major indicators: the Sustainability Score and Public Health Relevance. Methodology was to filter down the data set over the last 10 years and use descriptive statistical techniques and excel-based graphical analyses to represent trends and trends over time. The results indicated that Sustainability Score possessed a strong positive trajectory through an increase of 2.97 in 2014 to 6.08 in 2023; an increase of more than hundred percent, plus the highest value of 8.42 in 2022. This is to say that agricultural resilience and resource efficiency initiatives through genetic modification have played a major role. In contrast, Public Health Relevance demonstrated non-monotonic behavior - it started from 9.06 in 2014 and then sharply decreased to 2.62 in 2016, sharply increased to 9.50 in 2019 and then fell to 7.25 in 2023, resulting in negative change totaling approximately 19 percent. This fluctuation means that there were not always better nutritional improvements that came along with better sustainability. A moderate inverse correlation of negative value 0.628 between the two indicators further indicated the possibility of trade-offs, that making improvements on one aspect of sustainability may come at the cost of improving it with respect to the next one regarding its public health relevance. These findings highlight a need for combined methods of genetic modification that improve stability of yields and nutritional value of food. This study concludes the debate by stating that while genetic modification has had a positive strengthening effect on sustainability, it has uneven effects on public health and several multi-trait approaches to breeding and monitoring frameworks across sectors are needed to achieve a balance in progressive change.
