The latest volume showcases a field that has fully embraced systems thinking, recognizing that animal biotechnology must be developed and deployed within complex ecological, social, and economic contexts. This collection features research on the use of gene drives for managing invasive vertebrate pests and disease vectors, acknowledging both the tremendous potential and the significant responsibility associated with such powerful technologies. The journal publishes innovative studies on the biotechnological enhancement of byproduct utilization, creating value from waste streams and contributing to circular economy principles in animal agriculture. Additionally, this volume explores the potential of biotechnology to enhance animal contributions to ecosystem services, from improved manure management to carbon sequestration through grazing management. The work presented here reflects a mature discipline thoughtfully navigating the challenges and opportunities of the Anthropocene.
