Biotechnology

At it’s simplest, biotechnology is technology based on biology — harnessing cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet.

In the agricultural arena alone, more than 18 million farmers across the globe use agricultural biotechnology to increase yields, prevent damage from insects and pests and reduce farming’s impact on the environment.

Through the use of biological processes such as fermentation and the capture of biocatalysts, such as enzymes, yeast and other microbes, we can produce “microscopic manufacturing plants.”
