Agriculture--Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a modern technique applied in agriculture. Biotechnology (sometimes shortened to ‘biotech’) is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts.

The benefits of biotechnology are many and include providing resistance to crop pests to improve production and reduce chemical pesticide usage, thereby making major improvements in both food quality and nutrition.
