Provide at least 2 ways the use of agriculture and environmental uses could benefit society and 2 ways this?

Question

biotechnology could be harmful

Answer 1

If I  read your question correctly you are asking about uses of bitechnology in agriculture and or the environment.

This can be a very political question, as some would like to clamp down on all uses of biotechnology that have not been proven for eons, and also prevent testing of them. Uses of biotechnology as a whole are never harmful, it is the individual incident of biotechnology that can be harmful. Our problem is in distinguishing which can be harmful, which may be exceedingly beneficial. Without a lot of well designed testing we can never know. With just a bit of badly designed testing we may find out to our peril.

When most biotechnology is being tested only by those who stand to profit from its adoption in agriculture, the suspicion is natural. But those who do not want anyuthing to do with biotechnology also appear reluctant to get involved in doing the rigourous design and execution of tests which might then force us to allow broad general adoption.

One of the obvious problems of current biotechnology in use is that we are getting extremely narow genetic variability over enormous parts of our crops. The same (successful)  family line is bred with an added attribute, and then reproduced with little or no crossing of genetic lines to give us the equivalent of clones that would all be subject to the same diseases.

Answer 2

Is this for a school assignment because if it is you shouldn't be cheating.
