What are some of the potential benefits and potential risk of biotechnology?
In biotechnology, biological processes are used to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of life for humans. Some of the potential benefits of biotechnology are that there are lower production costs for the farmer, increased food production, and with the need for pesticides and fertilizers being reduced, biotechnology would be good for the environment. The potential risks of biotechnology include food safety risks, pests developing resistance to pest-resistant crops and/or changes in the nutritional composition in foods.
