Using biotechnology with sustainable agriculture effectively contributes to gains in agricultural productivity Agricultural biotechnology, also referred to as green biotechnology, is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes.

Since the advent of agriculture 10 years ago, farmers have used biological technology inadvertently in the refinement of methods of farming and crops through cross breeding, and various hybridization :// /agricultural-biotechnology.

OECD Development Centre Technical Papers, No.Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris. Google Scholar An overview of different international initiatives in agricultural biotechnology is presented.

Special reference is made to programmes supporting collaborative biotechnology research that is relevant to developing countries. A distinction is made between: (1) programmes for plant biotechnology; (2) programmes for livestock biotechnology; (3) regional biotechnology networks for specific crops or In India, our agricultural partnerships were historically focused on developing and disseminating productivity-enhancing technologies with international and, to a lesser extent, local partners.

While we have continued to build on this, sinceour approach has moved towards adapting solutions that respond to national and state-level demand "the book is a valuable resource as it provides much information about biotechnology development in developing countries.

Such information can foster collaboration not only among developing and countries in economic transition, but also between them and industrialized countries".

Godfred Frempong, Biotechnology and Development Monitor, June Biotechnology can contribute to future food security if it benefits sustainable small-farm agriculture in developing countries. Presently, agrobiotechnology research cites ethical, safety, and Messages to the Public.

The summarizes the messages of biotech experts and stakeholders to the public. It addresses concerns on the safety of biotech crops and highlights the importance of public understanding of biotechnology, as well as the benefits that the public can get from biotech crop The survey indicated that application of biotechnology expertise in the country was available in four broad areas, namely crop, animal, environmental and industrial biotechnology (Fig.

As shown in Figure 2a, expertise in crop biotechnology was dominated by molecular plant breeding (11%), while others aggregated as plant tissue culture and   to complex themes like biotechnology in agriculture. – Biotechnology is a concern for many different sectors of our society. The development, use and consumption of a crop or a farm animal will have different kinds of consequences, ranging from biological to economical and ethical ones, says Per.

The programme has been running for eight years, An overview of initiatives is presented, describing the agencies involved, issues involved in realizing the promises of the projects and how developing countries can maximise the benefits of the collaboration through building national programme capacity, private sector participation and the role of biosafety and intellectual property ://.
