Biotechnology has found numerous applications in various fields that benefit humankind. Nevertheless, it also entails risks that may be harmful to humanity. These risks may generally be classified into health-related and environmental risks. Environmental risks, in particular, are the most complex because of their connection to the sustainable development of peoples across the world. Such risks may be summarised in the emergence of products marketed and used as medicines or foodstuffs, namely genetically modified or engineered organisms. However, the latter have a direct impact on the environment and its biosafety because they rely on biological organisms, including plants and animals. They consequently lead to the disappearance of original and hereditary characteristics in favour of acquired ones, as modified and engineered products replace natural and original products, thereby affecting the sustainability of biological diversity throughout the world.
