Biotechnology for Food, Environment and Agriculture

Biotechnology for Food, Environment and Agriculture by Thangadurai D

Book Summary:

The development of genetically modified organisms and other biotechnology products has generated significant public debate and of environmental concern. Biotechnology for Food, Environment and Agriculture is an effort in line with the European strategy on life sciences and biotechnology under the concept of a European knowledge-based bio-economy through advances in plant, animal and microbial biotechnologies to develop new, healthier, ecofriendly products and services. To assess the widespread possibilities and challenges of biotechnology applications and approaches, the present volume serves as an information resource for food security, agricultural productivity, sustainable environmental management and other related issues to the researchers, legislators, educators, students and the public on global level.
