Biotechnology: What is its real Significance?

Biotechnology is attracting attention in more and more countries with research facilities being set up in universities and other institutions in developing countries as well as developed nations. What exactly is its significance? What contributions has the industry made? What is its future potential?

A recent report from BIO, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, titled “Healing, Fueling, Feeding: How Biotechnology is Enriching Your Life” seeks to answer these questions. The intro page of the report starts with some great statistics:

* reduce CO2 emissions annually by 32 million tons simply by lowering the temperature of washing clothes and dishes
* protect 241 million people worldwide from malaria
* ensure no child ever goes hungry
* stop chronic diseases from causing seven out of every ten deaths every year

The biotechnology industry believes that it can meet these and other goals that thinking people consider as absolutely essential to create a world that is a better place to live, compared to the planet that we live in now. Biotechnology has already created many “breakthrough products and technologies to combat disease, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, and make useful products.” Most of us are not even aware of the many biotech applications we see in our homes and workplaces.
