Abstract
As one of the world’s major grain and oil crops, soybean plays a crucial role in ensuring food security, promoting economic development, and maintaining ecological balance. With the intensification of global climate change and increasing resource and environmental constraints, the soybean industry urgently needs transformation and upgrading to achieve efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development. This study explores frontier technologies and sustainable development pathways in the soybean industry, covering key areas such as molecular breeding and gene editing, soil-microbe interactions, precision agriculture and intelligent management, stress-resistant variety cultivation, and the construction of ecological planting models. By comprehensively analyzing the latest research findings from both domestic and international sources, this paper aims to reveal the supporting role of technological innovation in driving the green transformation of the soybean industry and proposes strategic recommendations for optimizing resource allocation and reducing environmental burdens, providing scientific and practical insights for global food security and ecological conservation.
