3. ?What is Biotechnology
General Definition
The application of technology to improve a biological organism
)Biotechnology = bios (life) + logos (study of or essence
’Literally ‘the study of tools from living things
CLASSIC: The word "biotechnology" was first used in 1917 to describe
processes using living organisms to make a product or run a process, such as
. industrial fermentations
(Robert Bud, The Uses of Life: A History of Biotechnology)
LAYMAN: Biotechnology began when humans began to plant their own crops,
(domesticate animals, ferment juice into wine, make cheese, and leaven bread
AccesExcellence)

11. New Biotech Tools for a Cleaner
Environment
Industrial biotechnology is creating new markets for traditional
agricultural crops and crop residues as renewable feedstocks,
.chemical intermediates, and energy sources
Industrial biotechnology, the third wave of biotechnology, holds immense promise for
transforming a wide variety of industrial processes by preventing pollution, reducing
costs, conserving natural resources, and delivering innovative products to improve
. our quality of life
It is also creating new markets for traditional agricultural crops and crop residues as
. renewable feedstocks, chemical intermediates, and energy sources
