GROUP 1: GREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology is a technology that involves the
use of living organisms. Biotechnology is mainly
used in Agriculture,Food Science,and Medicine.
Green Biotechnology is also called as Plant
Biotechnology and/or Agri-Biotech.
Green Biotechnology is the process in which
applies to agricultural processes that produces a
more environmental-friendly solution.
They say that every life form is
consisting DNA. In Green Biotechnology
processes, the DNA is Modified to produce
higher number of Vitamins and Minerals for all
crops also to avoid Bugs and Pests. The result of
modifying this DNA is/are to produce a more
nutritious products and to provide a higher
income for farmers due to its higher number of
productions. It also allows Biotechnologists to
copy traits of one’s specimen like Rice Specimen
from International Farms to the Local ones.
History of Green Biotechnology
About 10,000BC, selection of crops and
animal breeding started. The maize in many
languages or Corn was first cultivated in the area
of Mexico more than 7,000 years ago, and spread
throughout North and South America. Native
Americans probably bred the first corn from wild
grasses,and crossed high-yielding plants to make
hybrids. The first ever introduction of Corn
started in 1492. In 18th
Century, the Agricultural
Technology is developed to produce Food, Feed
and Fibers. The first Commercial Plant Breeding
began on 1890s.
