Although it seems like a new thing, biotechnology has actually
been around for a while:
Domesticated plants and animals and selective breeding
Using yeast to make bread rise Using bacteria or yeast to ferment grapes into wine
-

Other Examples:
Selective Breeding of specific varieties of plants andanimals
(more nutritious, disease-resistance, better taste, higheryield!)
Artificial insemination Use of antibiotics to kill harmful organisms

BIOthe use of biological organisms orprocesses
TECHNOLOGYto make useful products
or to solve problems

What isBiotechnology?
Any technological application that uses
biological systems, or derivatives thereof, to
make or modify products for specific use
(The UN Convention on Biological Diversity)

Using scientific processes to get neworganisms or new products from
organisms.
Biotechnology is the manipulation of
living organisms and organic material
to serve human needs.

Involves many disciplines or branches of
learning
Includes all areas of life sciences Modern biotechnology has been impacted
by developments in the fields of biology,
chemistry, genetics and microbiology and
also incorporates techniques in physicsand mathematics.

Biotechnology affects agriculture and food safety,
healthcare, law enforcement and environmentalissues
GMOs are consumed by millions of people! Almostevery crops sold in the market are geneticallymodified! (soybean (>80%), corn (>38%), cotton(>70%), apple, bananas, etc)
Many drugs to be sold in the market are products of
genetic engineering

ecent advances in biotechnology arehelping us prepare for and meetsocietys most pressing challenges
Biotech is helping to heal the world by harnessing nature's own toolboxand using our own genetic makeup to heal and guide lines of researchby:
Reducing rates of infectious disease;Saving millions of children's lives;
Changing the odds of serious, life-threatening conditionsTailoring treatments to individuals to minimize health risks andside effects;
Creating more precise tools for disease detection; andCombating serious illnesses and everyday threats confronting
the developing world.

` Biotech improves crop insect resistance, enhances crop herbicidetolerance and facilitates the use of more environmentally sustainable
farming practices. Biotech is helping to feed the world by:
Generating higher crop yields with fewer inputs;
Lowering volumes of agricultural chemicals required by crops-
limiting the run-off of these products into the environment;
Using biotech crops that need fewer applications of pesticides and t
hat allow farmers to reduce tilling farmland;
Developing crops with enhanced nutrition profiles that solve vitamin
and nutrient deficiencies;
Producing foods free of allergens and toxins such as mycotoxin; andImproving food and crop oil content to help improve cardiovascular
health.

Biotech uses biological processes such as fermentation and harnessesbiocatalysts such as enzymes, yeast, and other microbes to becomemicroscopic manufacturing plants. Biotech is helping to fuel the world by:
Streamlining the steps in chemical manufacturing processes by 80% ormore;
Lowering the temperature for cleaning clothes and potentially saving $4.1billion annually;
Improving manufacturing process efficiency to save 50% or more onoperating costs;
Reducing use of and reliance on petrochemicals;Using biofuels to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 52% or more;
Decreasing water usage and waste generation; and
Tapping into the full potential of traditional biomass waste products.
