WHY BIOTECH?
CLASSICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
• Built on ancient biotechnology:
Fermentation promoted food
production, and medicine
MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY
• Manipulates genetic information from
microorganisms: genetic engineering
IMPORTANT FINDING

IMPACTS OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CROPS
POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF TRANSGENIC ORGANISMS:
WHY SO MUCH POTENTIAL?
Genetic engineering provides a greater range of possibilities for
transferring desired traits into organisms.
A greater diversity of organisms may be modified
The quantity and quality of traits are limited by the identification
of useful genes and are not constrained by existing variation
among interbreeding relatives
