Environmental biotechnology is an emerging interdisciplinary subject that combines modern biotechnology and environmental engineering. It directly or indirectly uses whole organisms or certain components or functions of organisms to reduce or eliminate pollution. effectively purify environmental pollution and produce useful substances at the same time.
Agricultural biotechnology refers to the use of biotechnologies such as genetic engineering, fermentation engineering, cell engineering, enzyme engineering and molecular breeding to improve the production characteristics of animal, plant and microbial varieties, cultivate new varieties of animals, plants and microorganisms, and produce new biological technologies in pesticides, veterinary drugs and vaccines.
Agricultural biotechnology refers to the use of mgenetic engineering methodsto cultivate crops with high resistance to diseases, lodging, salt and cold.
According to the latest report from agricultural investment agency Agfunder, in the field of agricultural biotechnology, the rise of gene editing startups has directly driven 50% of the growth of investments in this area.
Online agricultural market platforms continue to grow around the world. Global investments increased significantly by 58% in 2018. In this area, more and more start-ups are starting to connect farmers and buyers. On the one hand, they help farmers get appropriate prices and sales channels, and on the other hand, they help buyers get better agricultural products and services.
At the same time, biotechnology offers great prospects for improvingation of human life and the global environment. The world's population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, and biotechnology brings new hope for sustainable survival, healthy diets, disease resistance and a reduced footprint on the planet.
Biotechnology, as one of the important fields of high-tech development in today's world, is facing a series of new and revolutionary breakthroughs.
Industry insiders have stressed that American agriculture can dominate the world. An important reason is the application of agricultural biotechnology. The United States is interested in the fact that animal and plant varieties improved through biotechnology can significantly improve the quality, yield and disease resistance of animals and plants, thereby significantly improving labor productivity in agriculture American.
To theAt present, the application of agricultural biotechnology in the United States has made it possible to cultivate a number of excellent new varieties of crops with high yield, resistance to insects, diseases, drought and floods, etc., obtaining as well as agricultural products. which can be used in drylands and barren lands. New varieties of high-yielding cereals are being cultivated.
