What is Biotechnology and Why is it Important?

The U.S. Grains Council has created this unique resource to answer these questions by providing science-based information within an interactive multimedia format. Biotechnology is becoming a common term in business and commerce, but too few people understand what it is and its application in today's world. This resource introduces biotechnology, how it has evolved, and its impacts on the production of the world's food, feed and fiber, as well as the movement of these products through the different segments of the agricultural sector.
