Biotechnology is the use of biology to develop new products, methods and organisms intended to improve human health and society. Biotechnology, often referred to as biotech, has existed since the beginning of civilization with the domestication of plants, animals and the discovery of fermentation. Biotechnology is a broad science that uses modern technologies to make biological processes, organisms, cells, or cell components. New clinical tools, industry, and products developed by biotechnologists are useful in research, agriculture, and other major fields. Biotechnology is as old as civilization. The food you buy and the pets you love? Using artificial selection for crops, domesticated animals, and other species, you can thank our distant ancestors for starting the agricultural revolution. The potential of biotechnology was exploited when Alexander Fleming discovered antibiotics and when Edward Jenner invented vaccines. And of course, without the fermentation mechanisms that gave us beer, wine, and cheese, modern society would be unimaginable. This article summarizes some of the applications of biotechnology for Example Animal Feed, Reproduction in Aquaculture, Pest Resistant Crops, Drought Resistant Crops, Biofuel, Vaccine evelopment, Fermentation, Enzymesin food and agriculture.
