Extract

The human race has previously utilized biotechnology (defined as the use of microorganisms or biological substances to perform industrial purposes) for thousands of years to produce foods such as beer, wine, cheese and yogurt. In recent decades, biotechnology has been successfully employed to improve plant and animal products beneficial to livestock and humans while indirectly improving the environment through pesticide reduction.
