What is Biotechnology?
Bio means life"

techno means "tools"
ology means "the use or
study of
Using
biology
(the study
of life) to
create or
improve
tools,
products,
or
processes.
E.g., Food
Crops &
Animals

Four Key Benefits

1. Food Safety
2. Consumer Benefits
3. Sustainability
4. Feeding a Hungry World
FOOD SAFETY
10
Food Safety
For thousands of years weve been breeding
plantsso that we can have fruits and
vegetables that are safe and healthy. Were
now using the latest generation of
biotechnology tomake them even safer.
Ronald Kleinman, MD, Physician in Chief, Massachusetts
General Hospital for Children
Top medical
professionals
agree that
biotechnology
is a safe food
technology.
11
Plant-Based Foods Currently Available

Using Biotechnology are Safe
Extensive research
Consumed safely around world
No evidence of harm
Safe for children
No increased risk for allergies
Groups
that have
deemed
food
biotech
safe:
- WHO
- FAO
- AMA
- IFT
- FDA
- EPA
- USDA
12
Animal biotechnology is a safe technique

for producing meat, milk, and eggs
rbST: Safety of food products using
rbST has been established and
reinforced through decades of
research.
FDA on Animal Cloning: Meat and
milk from cows, goats, and pigs are
the same as from other animals.

What, if anything,
are you concerned
about when it comes
to food safety?
[OPEN END]
29%
Biotech Foods Are Regulated

to Ensure Safety
U.S. regulation coordinated by:
USDA
EPA
FDA
Regulations in place for foods from plant

and animal biotechnology
15
Food Biotech Labeling

Special labeling required only to disclose
a material change, such as:
Allergens present in the food.
Increased levels of naturally

occurring toxins.
Changes to nutrient composition

or profile.
FDA has determined the process of biotechnology is not

a material fact to be mandated on the food label.
16
Potential for Biotechnology to Improve

Food Safety
Benefits today:
Protects against mold in corn
Enzymes that produce low-lactose milk more efficiently
Products being developed to:

Protect rice and sugar cane from
insects
Produce a potato with reduced
acrylamide levels
Remove allergenic proteins (e.g.,
peanuts, milk, soy)
17
CONSUMER BENEFITS
18
Potential to Deliver Heart-Healthy Oils

Advanced breeding, modern food
production are used to develop canola,
soybean, and sunflower oils that do not
produce trans fats.
Soybean, canola oils
being developed with
biotechnology to
provide the specific
omega-3 fats that are
most protective for
heart health.
19
Biotechnology Improves Food

Taste & Quality
Under regulatory review:
Non-browning apples
Keep their original color longer, stay
crisp longer.
In development:
Potatoes
Tomatoes, melons, etc.
Enzymes used in food production
Above all
else,
consumers
want food
that tastes
good. 69%
say theyd
buy foods
enhanced
through
biotech to
taste
better
- IFIC 2012
20
Biotechnology Contributes to a
Consistent, Affordable Food Supply
Biotechnology facilitates:
Greater efficiencies on the
farm.
More reliable harvests.
Less risk of spoilage or
contamination from farm
to store.
21
SUSTAINABILITY
22
Sustainability
Sustainability in agriculture is about meeting
todays needs in a manner that ensures we can
continue to meet those needs tomorrow, as well
as or better than today.
23
Biotechnology Allows for More Judicious

Use of Insecticides
Important tools for protecting crops,
the environment:
Responsible use of biotech seeds
Responsible use
of crop protection
products
Integrated weed
and pest
management
practices
24
Biotechnology Allows for Use of Safer Herbicides

Glyphosate: 16 times less toxic than older
herbicides
Newer biotech varieties addressing weed
resistance
New types
of herbicidetolerant
corn and
soy have
been
developed
that help
address
ongoing
challenges
with
herbicide
resistance
of certain
weeds.
25
Biotechnology Protects Soil Quality

More Sustainable
Less Sustainable
Biotechnology
allows for
improved
soil quality.
Moldboard Plowing:
Exposes soil to wind,
erosion
No-Till Farming: Plants seeds

directly into residue of
previous crop
26
Biotechnology Reduces Carbon Footprint

No-till / Conservation tillage:
Agricultures carbon
footprint decreased by:
46.5 billion pounds
Carbon emissions are

lower on farms that use
biotechnology
2011: Estimated carbon
dioxide reductions:
4.19 billion pounds
27
Biotechnology Makes it Possible to Produce

More Food Per Acre and Per Animal
Crops thrive with better weed and insect control.
Less land, insecticides, fertilizers, fuel, animals,

and feed needed to produce same amount of
food.
With rbST and proper management,

5 cows can produce as much milk as previously
took 6 cows = More Sustainable
28
Biotechnology Improves Economic

Sustainability for Family Farms Worldwide
We can help poor farmers sustainably increase
their productivity so they can feed themselves
and their families. By doing so, they will
contribute to global food security. But that will
happen only if we prioritize agricultural
innovation.
- Bill Gates, co-founder,
The Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, 2012

FEEDING A GROWING WORLD
31
More Food, Better Nutrition Needed for

a Growing Global Population
By 2050, the global population is
expected to reach
9 billion people,
requiring 70%
more food than
is produced
today.
The past 50
years have
been the most
productive
period in global
agricultural
history, leading
to the greatest
reduction in
hunger the
world has ever
seen.
Former President
Jimmy Carter.
Wall Street
Journal, October
14, 2005.
32
Biotechnology Improves Harvest

Per Acre
Increasing yield in
developing nations,
ensuring greater access
to food.
Strengthening crops
against extreme
temperatures, drought,
poor soil conditions
critical in developing
nations
33
Biotechnology Offers Solutions for

Reversing Malnutrition
Where malnutrition is rampant,
nutritionally improving staple food
crops and native foods has great
potential to improve the health of
entire communities
In development:
Golden Rice
beta-carotene vitamin A
Biofortified sorghum
vitamin A, iron, zinc
34
AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY TODAY
35
Biotechnology Applications in the

U.S. Today

Biotechnology: Benefiting the Common

Good
When we look back over the last century, we see
that biotechnology is responsible for some of our
greatest progress in public health, from the discovery
of penicillin to the development of effective therapies
for HIV infection Today we can see even bigger
opportunities ahead.
- Kathleen Sebelius, USDA Secretary of
the Department of Health & Human
Services. The Biotech Meeting, 2010.
