DESCRIPTION
Biotechnology represents a diversity of scientific techniques and potential products. It range from technically complex, often expensive, molecular-level techniques, typified by recombinant DNA, to far more routine cheaper techniques such as cell and tissue culture. These biotechnology systems is being applied in a wide spectrum of production sectors ranging from agriculture, food, energy and forestry to chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mining and environmental control. This monograph outlines the level of biotechnology development and applications in the developing world and demonstrates its economic impact. In addition, it provides science policy-makers with a very well-defined and forward-looking strategy to promote biotechnology research for economic development. Furthermore, it highlights a general action plan.
