This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the first Agro-Food products based on modem biotechnology (e. g. recombinant chymosin for cheese production; tomato puree based on genetically engineered tomatoes; herbicide-resistant, genetically modified soybean; insect resistant maize) have been introduced in the EU markets in recent years, the application of this technology is still being intensively discussed in the European Union. Recent opinion polls indicate as well that consumers' acceptance of genetically engineered food and agro-products still is relatively low (e. g. European Commission 1997, Hampel et al. 1997), at least in some member states of the EU. In contrast, representatives from politics and industry underline the necessity to apply modem biotechnology in the Agro-Food sector as well, mainly to ensure the competitiveness of EU agriculture and food industry and for employment reasons. Against this background there seems to be a need for a scientific analysis of the future impacts of modem biotechnology in the Agro-Food sector of the EU. Recent studies trying to analyse this issue (e. g. OECD 1992, Teuber 1992) usually comprise extrapolations of status-quo analyses. What has not been exploited so far in this context are systematic technology forecasting approaches which do not include only one single country, but get information on an international level. Therefore, the impacts of modem biotechnology on the Agro-Food sector in five member countries of the EU (Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain) have been analysed with the help of the Delphi methodology which represents one of the most reliable tools for technology forecasting.

Book excerpt: Biotechnology in the food processing sector targets the selection and improvement of microorganisms with the objectives of improving process control, yields and efficiency as well as the quality, safety and consistency of bioprocessed products. Biotechnology is a broad term associated with many complex processes involving organisms and technology. They are basically related to food and agriculture. Biotechnology finds use in improvement of nutrition value of various kinds of foods to enhance the quality of human life. The application of recombinant DNA techniques to biological organisms, systems, and processes constitutes an exciting new biology that is being used to increase agricultural productivity and to improve the health of humans and animals. These advances coupled with those resulting from more traditional genetic and chemical approaches are having and will continue to have an enormous impact on the production of food throughout the world. Biotechnology is the use of livelihood systems and organisms to expand or make useful products, or any technical applications that uses organic systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or transform products or processes for specific use. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the fields of bioengineering and biomedical engineering. A number of the applications were identified in this paper to include biotechnology in food fermentation to enhance properties such as the taste, aroma, shelf-life, texture and nutritional worth of food. Biotechnology in the production of enzymes to bring regarding desirable changes in food, biotechnology in the production of food ingredients; flavours, fragrances, food additives and a range of other towering valued-added products, genetically modified starter cultures, genetically modified foods, the use of all these modern technologies in diagnostics for food testing, the role of biotechnology in food production by increasing food production, improved harvesting, storage and nutritional value, better raw materials, better flavour and the production of food containing vaccines, the safety of food produced with biotechnology as well as the risks and benefits of biotechnology in food production. This book focuses on the application of biotechnology to the processing of food. It discusses biotechnological tools and options that are applicable to the study and improvement of the quality, safety and consistency of foods. The contents of the book will be immensely helpful to students and researchers of biotechnology and food science.

Book excerpt: The Evolution of Agriculture: From Traditional Farming to Modern BiotechnologyIntroduction: The history of agriculture is a testament to human innovation and adaptability. From the humble beginnings of traditional farming practices to the revolutionary advancements in modern biotechnology, the agricultural industry has undergone a remarkable transformation. In this subchapter, we will explore the fascinating journey of agriculture, tracing its roots back to ancient civilizations and delving into the groundbreaking developments that have shaped the field of biotechnology today. Traditional Farming: Traditional farming methods have been practiced for thousands of years, rooted in the knowledge and expertise of early farmers. These methods relied heavily on human labor, utilizing simple tools and techniques to cultivate crops and raise livestock. From hand planting and animal-powered plowing to crop rotation and selective breeding, traditional farming was a labor-intensive process that played a crucial role in sustaining human populations. The Green Revolution: The mid-20th century marked a turning point in agricultural history with the advent of the Green Revolution. This period saw the introduction of high-yielding crop varieties, synthetic fertilizers, and the widespread use of pesticides. These innovations significantly increased crop productivity, allowing farmers to meet the growing demand for food. However, the Green Revolution also raised concerns about environmental sustainability and the long-term effects of chemical inputs on human health. The Rise of Biotechnology: In recent decades, biotechnology has emerged as a game-changer in the agricultural industry. By harnessing the power of genetic engineering, scientists have been able to develop crops with enhanced traits, such as disease resistance, improved nutritional content, and increased yield. Biotechnology has also enabled the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which have sparked debates regarding their safety, ethics, and potential impact on biodiversity. Benefits and Impact: The integration of biotechnology in agriculture has brought forth numerous benefits. Improved crop varieties have increased productivity, reducing the reliance on chemical inputs and minimizing the environmental impact of farming practices. Biotechnology has also played a crucial role in addressing global challenges such as food security, climate change, and sustainable agriculture. However, it is essential to carefully assess the potential risks and ethical considerations associated with the use of biotechnology in agriculture.
Download or read book Agricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries written by Matin Qaim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology offers great potential to contribute to sustainable agricultural growth, food security and poverty alleviation in developing countries. Yet there are economic and institutional constraints at national and international levels that inhibit the poor people's access to appropriate biotechnological innovations. Agricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries: Towards Optimizing the Benefits for the Poor addresses the major constraints. Twenty-three chapters, written by a wide range of scholars and stake-holders, provide an up-to-date analysis of agricultural biotechnology developments in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Besides the expected economic and social impacts, the challenges for an adjustment of the international research structure are discussed, with a special focus on intellectual property rights and the roles of the main research organizations. Harnessing the comparative advantages of the public and private sectors through innovative partnerships is the only way forward to optimize the benefits of biotechnology for the poor. The book will be an invaluable resource for both academics and policy-makers concerned with agricultural biotechnology in context of developing-countries.
Download or read book Regulating Next Generation Agri Food Biotechnologies written by Michael Howlett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agri-food bio-technology policy and regulation is transitioning from an early period focused on genetic engineering technologies to ‘next-generation’ rules and regulatory processes linked to challenges originating in a wide variety of new technological processes and applications. Can lessons learned from past and current regulatory oversights of agricultural biotechnology – and other high-technology sectors – help us address new and emerging regulatory challenges in the agri-food genetics sector? The expert contributors in this volume discuss the experiences of a wide range of North American, European and Asian countries with high technology regulation to address four key questions related to the past and future development of agri-food genomics regulation across the globe. how unique is agri-food biotechology regulation, and how can it be evaluated using the existing tools of regulatory analysis developed in examinations of other sectors? is a ‘government to governance’ model of regulatory regime development found in many other sectors relevant in this rapidly evolving sphere of activity? is a stages model of regulatory regime development accurate? And, if so, at which stage are we currently positioned in the regulation of agri-food genomics products and technologies? what drives movement between stages in different countries and sectors? In assessing such drivers, what are the key links between sectoral (meso) developments and more general macro and micro developments such as international relations and administrative behaviour? By updating, extending and challenging earlier empirical and theoretical social science perspectives on agricultural bio-technological regulation, this volume helps to inform future policy formulation. It will be of interest to practitioners and students of biotechnology, agriculture, and science and technology policy, and regulatory processes more generally.
