Agricultural Biotechnology
This Web site is brought to you by a group of U.S. agricultural schools, known as land grant colleges and universities. Our goal is to make information on agricultural biotechnology available to the public and to participate in the dialogue about the benefits and risks of this new technology, which fast is becoming a part of our everyday lives.
Join us in an informative discussion about agricultural biotechnology and its many effects on different areas of everyday life. Many of your questions will be answered in this section.
As teaching, research and extension institutions, we are convinced that some products developed through biotechnology can provide benefits to our food system and the environment. Furthermore, we believe that the risks and benefits of any technology, including biotechnology, should be evaluated through research.
There is considerable public discussion on agricultural biotechnology, and it is important for the public to become informed about the issues. What are the food safety issues, the environmental issues and the social issues? How is biotechnology different from more traditional methods? This Web site provides answers to some of these questions.
Public Involvement. Production of a safe and sufficient food supply, grown in an environmentally responsible fashion, is essential for humanity. Like any technology, agricultural biotechnology will have economic and social impacts in the U.S. and other parts of the world. Agricultural biotechnology is just one thread in the complex tapestry associated with modernization and other aspects of an increasingly interconnected world. As biotechnology continues to evolve, factual and open public discourse is vital in order to define the role it will play in society.
