AgBiotech Reporter brings you all the very latest news, comment, analysis and
trends in agricultural biotechnology. The qualitative and quantitative
benefits brought by transgenic crops can help meet the ongoing challenges
brought on by climate change and contribute to achieving global food security
for the entire supply chain. Both public and private research institutions are
working to develop new crop varieties with increased tolerance to abiotic
stress - drought, cold, poor soil or water quality - or resistance to changing
pathogen profiles. In addition, the application of biotechnology can reduce
input costs in relation to yields, meaning more, better, and cheaper food for
the world.
However, the commercial use of modern agricultural biotechnology is no longer
limited to food or fibre crops. New applications and markets for agbiotech
products, such as biofuels and animal cloning, are becoming increasingly
important.
Recently the issues surrounding the development and use of cloned animals,
their progeny or products have grown in importance, and are likely to prove as
contentious to some consumers as the first biotech crops.
The application of modern biotechnology to produce new and improved feedstocks
for biofuels will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and whilst GM food
crops may still be the subject of reservations by some consumers, biofuels
producers have no qualms about exploiting the benefits that these crops can
bring.
Keeping you in touch with the latest industry issues, innovations, debates and
opinions as they evolve, AgBiotech Reporter is essential reading for policy
makers, analysts and all those in the agrochemical, plant breeding and food
production industries.
