Biotechnology is the integration of the new techniques emerging from modern biotechnology with the well-established approaches of traditional biotechnology.
Biotechnology, an emerging knowledge-intensive field, is a set of enabling techniques for bringing about specific man-made changes in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), or genetic material, in plants, animals and microbial systems, leading to useful products and technologies.
By itself, biotechnology cannot resolve all the fundamental problems of environment and development, so expectations need to be tempered by realism.
